Police say the gas, nitrous oxide, was stolen over the weekend and could be very dangerous in the wrong hands. A spokesman said: “Nitrous oxide, or N2O, is commonly known as laughing gas and has analgesic properties when used medically. “However, worryingly it has been known to be used illegally as a recreational drug and can be used by car enthusiasts as a fuel additive. “Nitrous oxide can be a dangerous substance if it is misused or consumed without medical supervision. “Also, any attempt to interfere with the pressurised cylinders may result in serious injury if they are not handled correctly.” The theft is believed to have happened between 4.20pm on Friday and 5.20am on Sunday. Anyone with information is asked to phone 101.
