Security forces in Annaba have arrested a 21-year-old woman for the unauthorized possession of a fourth-category weapon, specifically a starter pistol. The suspect was brought before the public prosecutor at the Annaba court following the seizure. Under Algerian law, these devices—which mimic real firearms using blank cartridges—are considered regulated weapons that require an official license. While they are commonly used for sports events, cinematic productions, or personal protection, carrying them without legal authorization is a punishable offense.
