A 46-year-old man has been charged with stealing prescription drugs from the NHS centre he worked at South Gloucestershire.
David Bamford, of Quakers Road, Downend, has been charged with the theft of Fentanyl and Diamorphine from Emersons Green NHS Treatment Centre, where he was a member of staff.
Police have also charged him with causing a public nuisance, which relates to the contents of ampoules being tampered with and changed.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Constabulary said: "We’ve been working closely with Care UK, which runs the treatment centre, throughout the inquiry to investigate offences."
Bamford has been released on police bail to attend North Avon Magistrates’ Court on June 28.
