A SHOCKED couple found a binbag full of medication dumped in an alleyway.

Janet and Keith Atkinson, of Bolton Road, Darwen, discovered the inhalers and hundreds of tablets stuffed into a black liner and discarded behind Ribble Avenue, Darwen.

The pair phoned police and were advised to hand over the bag to a nearby chemist.

They tied up the bag and dropped if off at the Geloo Bros chemist in Union Street.
