Hobart CIB detectives investigating the theft of drugs from a Hobart veterinary clinic at the weekend have warned the thieves not to consume the drugs.

One of the bottles stolen from a safe contains a chemotherapy drug for treating cancer.  It is extremely toxic if consumed and causes permanent damage to humans.

The drug irreversibly damages the adrenal glands.

Anyone with information about the burglary at the veterinary clinic is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
