Police are inspecting CCTV footage and have warned people that the misuse of the substances could pose a threat to people's health.
Officers have urged the public to contact them if they find the cosmetics or are offered them.
Detective Inspector Scott Robertson said: “I would appeal to anyone who has doorbell or dash cam recording equipment to check their footage. It’s possible it has picked up the van when it’s been leaving the location or driving in the surrounding area.
"I would also ask motorists who were in and around the location to check for any images which could assist in our ongoing inquiries.”
