Burglars target Perth veterinary clinics to steal drugs

Police are appealing for information about a number of burglaries targeting veterinary clinics in Perth's east.

Armadale Detectives said the incidents in May and June of this year saw night time break-ins to vet clinics in the Kelmscott area, with animal medication, vaccines and diagnostic equipment stolen.

Images from police of the drugs believed to have been taken include the painkiller tramadol, and alfaxan, a steroid and anaesthetic.

Police warn the medication is not for human use and could be potentially harmful if consumed.

Detectives are requesting anyone who may have seen a person acting suspicious along Railway Avenue and Albany Highway, Kelmscott in the early hours of Monday 29 May 2017 and again on Tuesday 6 June 2017 to contact Police.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
