On March 3, around 15:01, a black handbag was discovered at a shopping center on Skuodo Street in Mažeikiai, Lithuania. Inside the bag, authorities found a low-caliber revolver, designated as 'ALFA 620', along with 27 rounds of 6 mm ammunition. Additionally, the bag contained a weapon certificate and an indefinite license to possess firearms. The revolver was registered to a woman born in 1963.

Following this discovery, police initiated a pre-trial investigation into potential violations of firearm and ammunition storage regulations, as stipulated under Article 255 of the Lithuanian Penal Code. This incident raises concerns regarding the safety and security measures in public places and the legal consequences of irresponsible firearm ownership.

The presence of a firearm in a public area, left unattended, emphasizes the importance of responsible firearm practices among gun owners. This case could lead to discussions around firearm regulations in Lithuania, particularly how individuals manage and store their weapons and the implications of neglecting these responsibilities.
