The investigation area of the Civil Guard investigates a theft of medical supplies at the
Puerta de Hierro Hospital
.
These are radiological and exploration material, such as endoscopes, with a value of more than
400,000 euros
.
The robbery occurred on Monday, March 14 at night, according to Cadena SER.
Other sources, also from Puerta de Hierro, assure that the removal of this material
caused some problems in the hospital
to carry out some diagnostic tests.
However, they point out, material arrived on Wednesday to resume activity normally.
That same Wednesday was when the hospital itself filed the corresponding
complaint
at the Majadahonda Civil Guard post.
The body's investigation area has already started the
investigation
and the first suspicions suggest that the robbery occurred from within the hospital, that is,
by a worker
.
It is not the first time that material of this type has been stolen from public hospitals in the Madrid health network.
A few weeks ago, at the beginning of January,
a similar robbery was perpetrated at the Hospital de la Paz
.
An event of these characteristics also happened a long time ago, in 2019, at the Príncipe de Asturias Hospital in Alcalá de Henares.
The theft of material at the Puerta de Hierro Hospital occurred the same week in which it was learned that two nurses from the Isabel Zendal Nursing Hospital were arrested for stealing medical supplies valued at 5,000 euros.
Both had no criminal record and alleged before the agents that they stole it to donate it to Ukraine.
