Rising demand in the US for costly medicines since the economic downturn has helped make pharmaceutical shipments a growing target for organised criminal gangs.
Data from FreightWatch, a US based freight security consultancy, shows at least 41 robberies of prescription drugs from trucks and warehouses so far this year, with an average value of nearly $5m. In 2009 it recorded 47 incidents worth $4m each.
