POLICE are concerned that pills missing from a stolen handbag may get into the hands of children and be potentially dangerous.
A packet of Prozac tablets, used for treating depression, was taken from a woman's handbag that was stolen and later recovered in York on Sunday.
The handbag was taken from the seat of a red Vauxhall Astra parked in Livingstone Street at about 4pm, and when it was later recovered, the owner noticed the 24 foil-wrapped pills were missing.
Police have warned people that the tablets can be potentially harmful if taken by someone, especially a child, without being prescribed by a doctor.
