The Ministry of Interior arrested 38 Muslim Brotherhood elements at a Bani Soueif school with arms in their possession, a statement for the ministry said on Tuesday.
The elements were arrested in a school where a Brotherhood member, who was arrested with the group's guide earlier on Tuesday, worked.
Mohamed Badie, the Brotherhood's General Guide, was arrested at an apartment in a Nasr City building.
Badie was in the company of two men and two women. No weapons or ammunition were found in his possession.
Sayed Abdel Rehim, who was caught with Badie, worked at the Islamist Call School in Bani Soueif, the Interior Ministry said on its Facebook page.
Security bodies searched the school and found 38 Brotherhood elements in hiding and in possession of an automatic rifle, three shotguns, petrol bombs and a large amount of ammunition, the ministry added.
They were also found to be in possession of three wireless radios.
