On November 1, 2026, Egyptian security forces successfully identified and apprehended the primary suspect involved in the theft at the Imbaba North Giza Health Administration building. The suspect, a known convicted felon with a history of similar crimes, was found to be under the influence of narcotics. Authorities are currently gathering information and investigating potential accomplices. The suspect's identity was revealed under the supervision of Major General Hatem Hassan, Assistant Minister of Interior for Giza Security.
The suspect, taken into custody by Imbaba investigators, confessed to stealing computer equipment and devices from the administration's office, as well as an ATM machine containing employee salaries. The thief claimed to have entered the storage room of the health administration building with the intention of stealing the ATM machine, after learning that the safe was located inside. He then proceeded to break into the storage room, steal the cash, and take the computer equipment and devices linked to the financial and administrative affairs.
According to a source connected to the case, the suspect was confronted with the findings of the investigation and confessed to committing the crime. He also provided information on the locations of the stolen items, which will be returned to the North Giza Health Administration, led by Dr. Randa Mohamed. The stolen items include computer equipment, office devices, storage devices, and electronic memories. The ATM machine, specifically designated for employee and citizen use, was also stolen.
Dr. Randa Mohamed, Director of the Health Administration, had previously filed a report at the Imbaba Police Station, stating that the administration building and storage room had been burglarized by unknown individuals. She reported that, in addition to the stolen items, other devices were missing, including tablets and a laptop. The administration's financial and administrative affairs were affected by the theft, with the stolen items including a computer used by the health administration's accountant.
In her statement to the Public Prosecution, Dr. Mohamed revealed that documents related to financial and administrative affairs were stolen from the office, along with the devices. The stolen computer equipment belonged to the administration's accountant. Upon discovering the incident, Dr. Mohamed reported it to the police and, accompanied by several employees, went to the Imbaba Police Station to file a formal report and provide a list of stolen devices and data from the administration's computer memory.
The Giza Public Prosecution has ordered the police to investigate and present the suspects for questioning. Imbaba investigators, under the supervision of Major General Alaa Fathi, Director of Giza Criminal Investigations, are working to uncover additional details related to the case. The Giza Police are proceeding with the handover of the stolen items to the Health Administration after verifying their locations through a formal handover document.
