LITTLE CURRENT–The Little Current detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are warning the public to not take drugs that have not been prescribed to them, following a theft on Monday.
Just before noon on February 5, a home on Highway 540 just west of Little Current was broken into, and a quantity of prescription drugs taken.
