Tourism and antiquities police have succeeded in retrieving four ancient Egyptian artefacts, two of which were reported missing from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir.
The criminals were caught ‘red-handed’, according to press reports.
Zahi Hawass, minister of state for antiquities affairs, assigned an archaeological committee headed by the Egyptian Museum Director, Tarek El-Awadi, to check on the authenticity of such pieces and whether they belong to the Egyptian museum.
Hawass told Ahram Online that the four bronze statutes date to the Late Period.
