WARSAW, Poland — Polish police recovered 11 tons of human blood plasma that had been stolen from an American company and was on its way to Austria, officials said Thursday.
The truck with a freezer unit carrying the plasma, worth more than $1.4 million, was stolen while the driver made a rest stop in Germany, Polish police spokesman Artur Chorazy said. It was taken across the border into Poland, where it was seized Wednesday.
Plasma is used to treat a wide variety of medical disorders. The stolen shipment originated from Harrisonburg, Va., where BioLife Plasma Services, a collection facility owned by Baxter International Inc., has operations.
