Gardaí in Dublin are appealing for information after a dangerous substance was stolen from a veterinary surgery in Walkinstown, Dublin 12.

Eight 100ml bottles of Dolethal medicine were taken during the burglary of the clinic on the Walkinstown Road on Wednesday night or in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The drug is used by vets to put down animals and Gardaí are warning that it is extremely dangerous and can be lethal if taken orally or injected by humans.

Officers in Crumlin are appealing to anyone with information to contact them.
