Police were called in after thieves struck at one of Sheffield’s busiest hospitals.
Raiders broke into one of the offices at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, before going through items inside and stealing from both the hospital and its staff.
NHS bosses have stressed that the incident has not affected day to day operations at the hospital, which remains open as normal, although police were seen at the hospital on Monday morning after the raid was discovered.
South Yorkshire Police said in a statement: “At 7.12pm on Monday (November 9), we were called to reports of a burglary at Royal Hallamshire Hospital.
“It is reported that two men entered the premises at around 6.30pm and stole items from inside.”
The force said enquiries were ongoing to identify the suspects.
Officers are appealing for anyone with information that could help with their investigation to get in touch online or by calling 101, quoting incident number 964 of November 9, 2026.
A spokesperson for Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said the theft did not involve the loss of any data.
The trust said in a statement: “Thefts of some small items belonging to staff and the Trust have been reported following unauthorised access to an office at the Hallamshire Hospital on Monday, November 9.
“The theft did not include computers. We are working with the police who are investigating the incident and determining any further actions needed.
