Recently, the police have been getting a growing number of reports from individuals who have received fake emails claiming to originate from judicial authorities as part of a supposed criminal investigation. The messages claim to come from officials such as a bailiff, the police, or BEE SECURE.
Scammers typically try to first make contact by accusing the recipient of having committed an offence, and then demand personal information or money to resolve the alleged infraction. It is important to note that the authorities never operate this way.
Anyone who has received such an email should not respond to the request. Instead, they should ignore and delete the message.
On 7 October 2026, at around 11.25pm, a police patrol spotted a man near Ettelbruck railway station whose behavior raised suspicions that he could be involved in drug dealing. During a search of the area, officers seized several packets of cocaine. Shortly afterwards, the man was found in a bar on Rue Prince Henri. A subsequent body search led to the seizure of cash, just over 150 grams of cannabis and a mobile phone.
The drugs, cash, and phone were confiscated as evidence. The man was arrested by order of the public prosecutor and brought before an investigating judge.
On 9 October, at around 7.30pm, police were alerted to a physical altercation between two people in a car park on Rue du Brill in Foetz. According to initial reports, one person had used pepper spray against another following an argument. Officers located the suspect at the scene and found the pepper spray canister in his jacket pocket, which they promptly confiscated. Reports were filed for assault and illegal possession of a weapon.
At around 1am on 10 October, police received a report of a man bothering customers outside a bar on Rue du Curé in Luxembourg city. The individual, who appeared to be heavily intoxicated, verbally abused the officers on arrival. Due to his disruptive behaviour and the risk posed to himself and others, he was taken into custody and placed in a sobering-up cell following a medical check.
