The first incident took place around 1am on Place de la Libération, where a man was involved in an argument with a group of four to seven other men. The altercation escalated into a brawl, resulting in the victim suffering a neck injury. During the incident, the victim’s mobile phone and credit cards were stolen.
Later that same night, in Rue des Artisans, a young man was threatened by two men wearing dark jackets. The victim sustained facial injuries, and the attackers stole €100 in cash from him before fleeing. The suspects, who are believed to be in their twenties, are still at large. The police are appealing to potential witnesses to come forward and provide any information that could aid in the investigation.
Anyone with information regarding the above crimes is urged to contact the Diekirch police station at (+352) 244 80 1000.
In addition to these incidents, two women were caught stealing clothing from a shop in Cloche d’Or on the same evening. The police apprehended the thieves shortly after, and upon searching them, discovered that the women had taken around 25 items of clothing worth a total of €950 from several different shops.
