Shortly before 4pm on Tuesday, a major police operation took place on Route d’Arlon, near the municipal border between Luxembourg City and Strassen.
The intervention was prompted by a “suspicious report,” leading authorities to inspect the reception centre for asylum seekers, located next to the local Delhaize supermarket.
By 4.30pm, the authorities confirmed that the operation had concluded, as the report was determined to be a “false alarm.” They also said that “nothing suspicious” had been found on site. “Several police patrols and teams” took part in the operation, wrote the police on Tuesday afternoon in a statement sent to the press.
As a result of the intervention, approximately 100 people were evacuated from the area. Route d’Arlon was partially closed in both directions, causing significant traffic congestion.
