POLICE are seeking prescription drugs which were lost in St Helens on Thursday.
If taken by someone who has not been prescribed these drugs they could be harmful.
The owner of the prescription drugs believes he lost them after getting in a taxi which was traveling between Earlestown and Newton-le-Willows.
The lost medication was in the form of tablets in blister packets.
There were 86 5mg Diazepam tablets, which can lead to respiratory distress if taken in this quantity, and 28 30mg Mirtazapine tablets, which attacks the nervous system and could cause the user to fall into a coma.
Besides these, there were 20 boxes of the food supplement Complan.
Anyone who finds the medication is asked to hand it in at a local police station, or call 101.
