Gold necklace stolen
At around 5pm on Tuesday, a passenger was attacked whilst sitting on a Luxembourg City bus near the "Aciérie" bus stop. The assailant attempted to rip a gold chain from around his neck. When the victim fought back, another individual intervened – albeit not to help. Instead, the second person turned out to be an accomplice of the first, and together they both succeeded in stealing the necklace and escaping. A search for the two suspects proved unfruitful.
Police advise the public to exercise caution and to pay attention on public transport. Keep valuables and bags close by and do not show any valuable items off.
