NUMEROUS items of medication were stolen from outside a Maltby bookmakers last Monday.
Five different prescription drugs were taken from an elderly man's mobility scooter when he visited the Tote bookies on Queen's Corner.
The pensioner had earlier collected a month's supply of antibiotics, painkillers and steroid tablets and capsules from a chemist on the High Street.
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.
