Traffic checks in the east, break-ins in the west

Late on Wednesday afternoon, police and customs officers conducted traffic checks on Rue de Wasserbillig in Echternach. 10 motorists were fined €145 and lost two points off their licences for not having the correct technical papers. In eight cases, the vehicle tax had elapsed, resulting in fines worth €74, and in two further cases, the vehicle had not been taxed in over 60 days, which left the individual drivers with €250 fines.

Three drivers were caught with unregistered vehicles and were fined €145 and lost two points off their licences.

Break-ins across Luxembourg 

Police in Strassen received reports of a man attempting to break into a parked car on Route d'Arlon. A police patrol located the man and issued him with a written warning.

On Wednesday evening, burglars targeted a house on Rue de Roodt in Rambrouch, breaking in via a patio door and searching the property.

Later on, another break-in occurred at a house on Rue d'Ospern, Redange-sur-Attert, but the intruder fled when the residents arrived home. Redange police have issued an appeal for witnesses, encouraging anyone with information on the burglary to contact them on (+352) 244 92 1000 or via email at police.atert@police.etat.lu.
