Shortly before 6pm on Christmas Day, police were alerted to an attempted robbery at the petrol station in Frisange, where a man had tried to steal a bottle of alcohol. A patrol intercepted the thief at the scene and took him to the police station, where he was placed in custody due to his inebriated state.
Just before 9pm a fight broke out at Berchem services on the A3 motorway. Police officers arrived on the scene to find two people in a physical altercation in the car park and succeeded in separating them.
One man was in such a drunken state that he had to be restrained multiple times to stop him from wandering out on to the motorway.
He was deemed to represent a risk to himself and others and was therefore placed in custody following a medical check.
