The Easter weekend kicked off with a turbulent start on Friday, with Luxembourg police responding to nearly 70 calls for noise complaints and other disturbances. Most cases were resolved before officers even arrived on the scene, though a handful of incidents required a more hands-on response.
At around 6pm, a patrol was dispatched to Rue Joseph Junck in the Gare district of Luxembourg City following reports of an injured person. Officers found two men who appeared to have been involved in a fight, both showing clear signs of having consumed alcohol. One of the two proved uncooperative and was taken into custody on account of his intoxication.
Later that evening, police were called to the capital’s Boulevard Royal, where a man had reportedly insulted a security guard near the tram stop. The individual was heavily intoxicated and resisted officers, who duly offered him a night in a sobering cell to sleep it off.
In the early hours of the morning, another call came in reporting a large campfire lit by a group of people in a wooded area near Wolper. Officers arrived to investigate but found no sign of any significant fire. What they did find, however, was the person who had made the emergency call, sitting in his vehicle parked nearby, in a state of considerable intoxication. His driving licence was confiscated on the spot.
