The Governor of Port Said, General Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed, said he and the police want residents to be as secure as possible. “A citizen's security is more important than a loaf of bread,” said Mohamed. Assistant Minister of the Interior, Sami el-Ruby commented on the security situation in Port Said, saying he considered the most secure governorate due to the efforts of police officers in coordination with the military. “We were able to capture thieves stealing cars and burglarizing properties through intensive security campaigns on the Port Said-Ismailia road,” el-Ruby said.
