Thieving Theo strikes again

Suffolk's notorious cat burglar moves on to baby toys

Notorious cat criminal Theo has stopped stealing Christmas decorations and moved onto baby clothes and toys, his owner told BBC news.

The thieving feline made headlines last year when he crept into neighbours' houses and stole their Christmas decorations. This year, however, his owner Rachael Drouet says he has only managed to retrieve one.

Despite this, Theo has not left this thieving ways behind. Miss Drouet told the BBC he has taken to stealing baby clothes and toys, including a personalised bib which she put through her neighbour's letterbox, as she was too embarrassed to speak to them.

His most impressive theft this year was a large rubber dart, which his owner said was "quite big and not easy for him to carry around".

New form for online veterinary medicines retailers

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has produced a new online form for retailers wishing to sell veterinary medicines on the internet.

The form replace the previous Word version and is part of the VMD's ongoing commitment to digitise its processes. Anyone retailing prescription medicines online, including POM-V, POM-VPS and NFA-VPS categories, is lawfully required to register with the VMD before trading.

The change only applies to new applicants. Retailers already listed on the VMD's Register of Online Retailers or registered under the Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme (AIRS) do not need to do anything.
