£1m of Stolen Medicines Found in Pharmacist’s Warehouse in Wakefield

A MAN who stored stolen medication worth more than £1 million in a warehouse in Wakefield was jailed for four years today. Hafiz Noorullah, 45, was asked to keep more than two million Contam, Lopresor and Femara pills. The medication, used to treat Parkinson’s, high blood pressure and breast cancer, was stolen in 2005 while en route from the Swiss headquarters of pharmaceutical giant Novartis to a distribution depot in Thatcham, Berkshire.
