Police are appealing to the public in order to trace 24 diazepam tablets that are missing in the Edinburgh area.
The tablets were in a rucksack, which was left on a number 33 Lothian Bus this morning (Thursday, February 5). The rucksack was found with all of its other contents, except for the missing diazepam.
Officers are now appealing for the tablets to be handed in to police. The tablets are described as 24 5mg diazepam. If taken they can cause significant harm.
Lothian Buses no. 33 runs between Baberton and Gorbridge/ Dalkeith Campus.
Inspector Caroline MacKay said: “We are eager to recover these tablets as a matter or urgency.
“If they are taken by someone they are not prescribed to they can be very dangerous. It is essential they are recovered as quickly as possible.”
