Police have issued a warning after a quantity of methadone was lost in the Aylsham Road area of Norwich today (Wednesday).

Police were contacted earlier today reporting that eight small bottles of the prescription drug, in the form of a green liquid, had been lost at around 11am.

As with any prescription medication, the drug may be harmful if taken by anyone it is not prescribed for, and police are asking anyone who finds it to contact Norfolk police on 101.
