"Police are urging anyone who has been given weight-loss products at unusually low prices, or by unfamiliar companies or individuals, to get in contact with them. Health officials have urged people not to obtain weight loss drugs illegitimately (Alamy/PA) I would also like to issue a reminder that these weight loss drugs must be stored correctly and are dangerous if they are not administered in the right way, Mr Fontenelle said."
Large quantities of weight-loss medication valued at about £1 million were stolen from Phoenix Healthcare Distribution in St Albans after a break-in on 24 January.
