Summary of Police Operations in Dar El Beida, Algeria
Last week, the Judicial Police of the Dar El Beida administrative district in Algiers made significant progress in combating local crime by arresting nine individuals linked to a neighborhood gang. This operation led to the seizure of various weapons and psychotropic substances, addressing a growing concern for public safety in the area.
The crackdown was triggered by community concerns following the circulation of a video that depicted a violent clash among several individuals, which involved the use of prohibited knives, fireworks, and batons. This incident took place in Mohammadia, and the video evidence proved instrumental in identifying and apprehending the suspects.

According to a statement from the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), the investigation revealed the existence of a clan conflict between rival groups from different neighborhoods, highlighting the social tensions contributing to local violence. The suspects were apprehended during a coordinated police operation that also involved overseeing prosecutors to ensure adherence to legal protocols throughout the arrest process.
During the operation, authorities confiscated a variety of illegal weapons, including different types of knives, a tear gas grenade, and two bottles containing psychotropic substances, as well as several narcotic tablets. The comprehensive approach not only aimed to dismantle the immediate threat posed by this gang but also sought to restore a sense of security among residents.
Legal Consequences
The arrested individuals face serious charges, including being part of a criminal gang, instilling fear among the community, threatening public safety with firearms, and illegal possession and distribution of narcotics and psychotropic drugs. The police operation underscores the commitment of local law enforcement to address crime and maintain public order, demonstrating their proactive stance in curbing gang-related activities.
This recent move reflects a broader initiative by Algerian authorities to tackle escalating violence and improve safety across urban areas, reassuring citizens that measures are being taken to combat crime effectively.
