Police are appealing for information after a robbery at a Livingston pharmacy in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Prescribed medication and a small quantity of cash were stolen from the Omnicare store on Main Street, Deans, at around 3.45am on April 28.

Detectives are urging people in the area to be vigilant and contact them if they have been offered any of the stolen drugs.

Detective Constable Tony Gilhooley, of West Lothian CID, said: “Enquiries into the incident are ongoing and I would urge anyone who has information or who may live in the area and heard or saw anything suspicious to contact police immediately.

“I would like to discourage anyone from purchasing any medication offered and would urge anyone who may be offered these to contact police immediately."

Police are also warning business owners in the town to review security measures in place.

DC Gilhooley added: “Although the property was secure, I would also like to take this opportunity to remind business owners to review their security- make sure to keep your doors and windows locked at all time.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 0533 of Tuesday, 28 April 2020 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
