A motorist lost control of his vehicle in the Ehlerange tunnel at around 1.30am, crashing into the barrier. The driver sustained minor injuries as a result.
A police patrol conducted a breathalyser and a drugs test at the scene, after identifying the smell of cannabis in the vehicle. While the drugs test was negative, the driver failed to pass the breathalyser test. He was taken to hospital for treatment, and had his licence suspended on the spot.
Police searched the vehicle, finding a small amount of cannabis and a copper cable. The public prosecutor's office was informed, and ordered a search of the man's home as well. No further relevant items were discovered.
The police were alerted to a mugging in Esch-sur-Alzette at around 8pm on Monday. Two individuals had attempted to steal the victim's handbag when she departed a café on Rue Simon Bolivar, both running away upon completion of the theft.
A patrol located one of the thieves, but could not find any relevant objects on his person. He was subsequently brought to the detention centre.
