Police received a report of the lost or possibly stolen medication which is believed to have occurred around the Millfield Road area around 1:30pm yesterday.

The medication was a large amount of sertraline, tramadol and pregabalin.

Officers would appeal to anyone who may come across the medication to hand it in to a local police station or to a local pharmacy.

The medication could be dangerous to anyone who has not been prescribed it.

A case of Monkeypox has been discovered in Middlesbrough.

Statistics from the UK Health Security Agency have revealed that Middlesbrough has joined the list of areas across the UK that have confirmed cases of Monkeypox.

Since June 8, GPs and other doctors have been required to report any suspected cases of Monkeypox they see, and laboratories must also report if the virus is identified in a laboratory sample.

Monkeypox was detected in Middlesbrough in the agencies' figures from the week up to last Sunday.

There are currently 524 cases of the disease across the UK - 504 confirmed cases in England, 13 in Scotland, two in Northern Ireland and five in Wales.
