Three men have been jailed after almost £1million of weight loss drugs – including 79 boxes of Mounjaro – were stolen from a healthcare centre.

Mark Harding, 55, and Peter Costello, 44, forced entry and blacked out internal cameras at the distribution centre in St Albans, Hertfordshire, on January 24.

The pair were caught on CCTV stealing several boxes of the weight loss drug from a refrigerated storage unit shortly before 6.40pm.

They stole more than 70 further boxes less than two hours later with accomplice Robert Townsend, 59, in tow.

The total value of the haul was £944,544.89.
