Hide AdConcerns were raised over fears people were using the gas to get high and then leaving the capsules in the town centre where children could get hold of them.
One dad of two said: “It is really not the sort of thing you want young children picking up.”
Nitrous oxide is a colourless gas that is most commonly found in the pressurised metal canisters discovered in the town.
When inhaled it can cause a throat spasms and stop people from breathing.
Police have been approached for comment.
