Three Kalashnikovs, two shotguns and 7.65 mm caliber ammunition were seized in an apartment in this city in the northern districts. The police also discovered eight bulletproof vests and a police radio there.

Police operations are not uncommon in Castellane, a Marseille city undermined by the influence of traffickers ready to do anything to maintain control of their territory. A police source indicated to Le Figaro that an investigation was opened and entrusted to the Bouches-du-Rhône judicial police.
