Five people are facing various charges following a London police investigation into prescription fraud across the city.
On Wednesday, police made the arrests and laid charges against three men and two women between 25 and 45-years-old, all from London, face a combined total of 42 charges, including nine counts of uttering forged documents, three counts of possession of identity documents, and three counts of stolen property.
Police want to remind all pharmacies to report any suspicious prescription activity.
They also say health care providers who issue prescriptions should take extra care to ensure that prescriptions are being communicated to a specific pharmacy whenever possible.
