In the first incident, two women robbed an elderly woman who was using a walking frame in Diekirch. One of the criminals reportedly hugged the old lady and said something to her in French. It wasn't under a little later that the victim noticed that both her two bracelets and necklace were missing.
In Esch, a woman cycled up to the unsuspecting victim from behind and then grabbed her purse before fleeing towards Rue d'Audun.
