Some of the steroids stolen from a northern Sydney business over the weekend. Police are on the lookout for a group of thieves peddling black market steroids, after $800,000 worth of growth hormones were stolen from a northern Sydney business over the weekend. Up to seven men broke into the business, on Frenchs Forest Road, via the roof on Sunday night, police said. Once in they stole boxes from a refrigerated area and used a late model BMW and a stolen truck to remove the goods. The theft was discovered on Monday morning, when staff arrived at work. Police are now warning gyms and sporting clubs to be on the lookout for people attempting to sell steroids, and have warned if used improperly the drugs can have serious medical consequences.
