Veterinary drugs stolen from trailer parked near Saskatoon airport

Saskatoon police are alerting the public after veterinary drugs were stolen from a parked trailer last week.

Police said in a release Thursday that the theft happened sometime between 9 p.m. on April 1 and 5 a.m. on April 2. A veterinary trailer that had been parked in the 300 block of Aerogreen Crescent near the Saskatoon airport was broken into and the drugs were stolen.

The drugs named in the police release deal with issues ranging from the stimulation of reproduction in cattle and pigs to endometritis in cattle.

“All were labeled and in glass vials when they were stolen,” police said in their release. “The drugs are not intended for human consumption.”

Anyone with information about the theft or the whereabouts of the stolen drugs was asked to call the Saskatoon Police Service at 306-975-8300 or 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,” the release said.

“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.”
