Person of interest sought after car containing 30 vials of Pfizer vaccine stolen
Search for stolen car with vaccines
Authorities are looking for a vehicle that was stolen in Polk County, Florida and is said to have contained dozens of Pfizer coronavirus vaccines.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Plant City police officers said a car carrying the COVID-19 vaccine was stolen right outside a site where senior citizens get their vaccines.
It happened outside the Strawberry Festival Grounds on Wednesday afternoon.
According to the incident report, the vaccines were being delivered by CDR Health, a company hired by Florida Emergency Management to distribute the vaccine. A spokesperson from CDR Health said a line hindered the worker from going into the secure site so he got out of his car to get the attention of the security guard, and that s when his vehicle was stolen with the vaccines.
