In Luxembourg City, a gang of thieves stole several necklaces by ripping them from unsuspecting pedestrians. The first incident occurred at the crossroads between Avenue de la Gare and Rue du Fort Neipperg around 3.30 p.m. on Saturday. Further incidents were reported at Place de la Gare around 6.15 p.m., and in Avenue Monterey around 9.15 in the evening.
In all three cases, a group of three men stole the jewellery. The victims all filed a complaint with the local police department. Nobody was injured in the process.
An incident of theft was also reported in Reckange-sur-Mess. Two guests at a local bistro ordered drinks at the bar and stole a phone from behind the counter while the waiter was not paying attention. When the drinks arrived, both men refused to take them and quickly left the bistro.
Employees discovered the theft soon after and reported the incident to the police.
The Saturday police report further shows that officers had to intervene on five occasions because of drunk drivers. In two of these cases, drivers were fined and received a provisional driving ban.
The first one was issued around 5.30 p.m. for causing an accident near the Esplanade in Diekirch, the second one shortly before 11 p.m. for displaying reckless driving and zigzag manoeuvres on the A13 motorway, in the direction of Esch-sur-Alzette.
The three remaining people were also fined for drunk driving, as well as for breaking the curfew.
The first one was caught driving in zigzags shortly after midnight near Schlewenhof. The second one was stopped for skipping a red light on Boulevard G.-D. Charlotte in the capital. The subsequent police check also revealed that the car was not properly registered, which led it to be confiscated. The final driver was caught at 1.10 a.m. in Rue Fraschepeilchen in Erpeldange (Bous).
In Wiltz, the police identified a man with an outstanding arrest warrant in Rue General Patton. He was subsequently arrested and brought in front of an examining magistrate on Sunday.
The police was alerted to two construction workers in Avenue Grand-Duc in Luxembourg City. When they controlled their papers, it turned out that they lacked a work permit. They were fined by order of the prosecutor’s office and their tools were confiscated.
