Five different prescription drugs were taken from an elderly man's mobility scooter when he visited the Tote bookies on Queen's Corner.

The drugs, believed to have been taken between 2.30pm and 3.15pm, include:
- Erythromycin ethylsuccinate - an antibiotic, that could cause an upset stomach if taken without prescription.
- Two strengths of levothyroxine sodium tablets, which would cause the heart rate and metabolism to speed up.
- Lansoprazole capsules, used to cut down the build of acid in the stomach.
- Prednisolone tablets, a type of steroid used to control breathing problems.
- Tramadol hydrochloride capsules, a painkiller similar to codeine.
Anyone who finds this medication or knows any other information about the offence should contact Rotherham's Crime Management Unit on 01709 832141.
