Over 650,000 tablets were stolen by three men posing as gas company representatives in Northern Ireland this morning.

A security guard (50) is being treated for shock after three men tied him up before making off with 524,000 diazepam and 138,000 tamazepam and a small amount of cash.

Both drugs are commonly sold on the street and used by addicts.

Police say the three men broke into the Cross Pharma, Duncrue Rd, Belfast at around 9 a.m. and made their getaway in red jeep.

One of the men is described as being in his mid 30s about 5'10'' and of medium build. A second is described as in his mid 20s about 6' and of heavy build. The third man is around 18-years-old and of thin build.
