Access was gained to a medical cupboard and various items, including defibrillator and prescription medication, were allegedly stolen.
Following enquiries, a local man aged in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of burglary and he has been released on police bail as investigative work continues.
Sergeant Mia Jakeman, of Dorset Police, said: “We are continuing to carry out enquiries into this incident and I would urge anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity in the area on the night of Tuesday 15 October into the morning of Wednesday 16 October 2024 to please contact us.
“I would also urge any local residents and businesses with CCTV, as well as motorists with dashcam who were in the vicinity, to please review any footage for anything that might help our investigation.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to strongly advise members of the public not to purchase any medication, other than when prescribed by your doctor.
