Burglars are taking advantage of limited daylight hours to target homes, businesses and building sites.
According to police, Wednesday night was rife for break-ins, with burglaries reported in Cessange, where a thief gained access through a balcony door, and two incidents in Cents. One of these was interrupted by a resident.
An apartment building in Soleuvre was also targeted, with the thief breaking a window at the back of the building in order to get in.
Burglars also broke into a house in Belvaux overnight, gaining access via a cellar door in order to steal valuables.
Other cellar break-ins were reported in Luxembourg City, Gasperich and Bettembourg over a similar time period.
Finally, thieves gained access to building sites in Kockelscheuer and Steinfort, with a number of tools and machines going missing.
