A BATCH of drugs lost in the town could prove fatal if taken in large numbers, Bolton police have warned.

The 54 Clozapine tablets were lost in the Morris Green area and an appeal has been made for the pills to be handed in at a police station if found.

The drugs are small round tablets which are in silver bubble packs bearing the tablet name. They are also in a white box.

A police spokesman said: "Any members of the public who spot any such items should contact the nearest police station immediately."
