A police patrol in Dudelange noticed an altercation between a group of people. Upon investigation, it transpired that three people had been stopped by a homeowner because they were ringing door bells in an apartment building.
This method is often used by burglars to check if the residents are at home. Two of the three people questioned could not provide identification and were thus taken to the police station to be searched. Officers found a screwdriver, scissors and parts of a lock-breaking kit among their possessions. Upon further investigation, police realised one of the group was a woman for whom a European arrest warrant had previously been issued. She was taken into custody and brought before an investigating judge on Friday.
On Wednesday evening, a person was attacked by a stranger wielding a knife after a brawl broke out on Rue Prince Henri around 10pm.
When police arrived on the scene, the group had fled, save for the victim of the stabbing. The patient was taken to hospital for treatment. Officers later stopped the perpetrator on a bus travelling in the direction of Luxembourg City. A case was opened as he was discovered in possession of cannabis.
On Thursday, the man admitted to stabbing another person with a knife, this time at the Kinnekswiss in Luxembourg City on Wednesday afternoon. The incident occurred after a verbal disagreement.
The victim has since been discharged from hospital.
