The work of vampires?

Polish police have recovered 11 tonnes of human blood plasma that had been stolen from a US company and was on its way to Austria.

The truck with a freezer unit carrying the plasma, worth more than 1 million euros, 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.

Police footage showed the frozen salmon-coloured plasma packed in boxes originating from Harrisonburg, Virginia - the headquarters of BioLife Plasma Services, a collection facility owned by Baxter International Inc.

BioLife spokeswoman Laura Jacobs said the company was working with local authorities to determine how the theft occurred.

Polish police have made no arrests so far, and believe thieves stole it in hopes of selling it elsewhere in Eastern Europe, Chorazy said.
