The Toronto Police Service would like to alert the public to lost medication.

On Thursday, February 11, 2016, it was reported to police that a quantity of narcotics could not be located at a nursing home in the Bloor Street West and The West Mall area

On Sunday, November 1, 2015, the narcotics, 28 tablets of “Staytex,” a morphine-based medication, were deposited into a secure container within a secure office inside the facility.
