KENT police have issued an appeal in a bid to recover a doctor’s bag containing medicinal drugs which was mislaid by its owner in Rochester on Monday (November 21).

Police are concerned that the bag, and in particular its contents, could fall into the wrong hands.

If taken in quantity, or if taken by a child, some of the drugs could be dangerous.

It is a black and silver metal bag.

A police spokesman said: "Our advice to anyone who finds the bag, or who knows its whereabouts, is please take it at once to the police."
