In another case, a person was placed in pretrial detention because they were caught driving without a licence several times in the past two weeks.
Both shoplifters, who had stolen items from a shop in rue des Remparts in Echternach on Wednesday 21 April, were also placed in pretrial detention. They were caught red-handed by the shop's security personnel.
The culprits had stolen hygiene products worth €1,200. On the orders of the public prosecutor's office in Diekirch, both men were arrested and presented to an examining magistrate on Monday morning.
Police also pulled over a driver in Baschleiden on Thursday morning, who was driving without a licence. In addition, the required documents were not valid.
As police had already caught the man three times in the past two weeks, the public prosecutor's office ordered the man's arrest, and he was presented to an examining magistrate. The vehicle was seized.
