POLICE are appealing for help after three bottles of medicine were found in the garden of a house in Cavendish Place, Walton-le-Dale, Preston.

The brown bottles, around 5cm high, have a rubber cap with a seal. The bottles contain Nalbuphine Hydrochloride, which police have described as an Opium or Morphine-based medicine. They may have been illegally imported.

One bottle was empty and another had teeth marks on the seal. Police say the medicine could be harmful to adults if consumed and could be fatal if taken by children. If anyone finds medicine they should call police on 01772-614444.
