The Saskatoon Police Service is alerting the public to a recent theft of veterinary drugs.

Sometime between 9:00 p.m. on April 1, 2024 and 5:00 a.m. on April 2, 2024, a veterinary trailer that had been parked in the 300 block of Aerogreen Crescent was broken into resulting in the theft of several veterinary drugs, including Atravet, Gonavet, Lidocaine, Bioestrovet, Netricure, and Folltropin; all were labeled and in glass vials when they were stolen. The drugs are not intended for human consumption.

Anyone with information relating to the theft or whereabouts of the stolen veterinary drugs is asked to call the Saskatoon Police Service at 306-975-8300 or report it anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

While the Saskatoon Police Service does respond to some reports of overdoses, including those that are fatal, we do not respond to all overdoses that occur. Only the Saskatchewan Coroners Service can confirm that an overdose caused a death and which drugs may have contributed to it. Any drug that is not prescribed by a doctor and dispensed by a pharmacist can result in serious injury or death.

Members of the public are also reminded of the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act which serves to provide some legal protection for individuals who experience or witness an overdose and seek emergency help. Familiarize yourself and tell others; you might be the difference in saving a life. If you suspect someone may have experienced an overdose, call 9-1-1 immediately.
