Police issued a warning on Tuesday morning not to pick up any suspicious individuals in and around Echternach.

The masked culprits forcefully entered the bakery in rue du Pont in Echternach at about 5:30 AM on Tuesday morning.

They threatened an employee with a firearm and demanded that he hand over the cash in the bakery's register. However, as the employee did not manage to open the register straight away, the individuals decided to abandon their plan and escape.
