The Grand Ducal police said they received a high number of reports in recent days, but that the public did not need to call 113 every time they see a light in the sky.
Director General Pascal Peters explained:
"We have had as many reports in the last few days alone as we have had all year."
Often the reports turn out to be about planes or other objects. The police therefore advise the public to check first if it is actually a drone before contacting the authorities.
"If I just see lights, for example, and I can't categorise it, it doesn't mean it's a drone necessarily."
Drones are often heard before they are seen. But if someone is certain they have seen a drone, or an object exhibiting unusual flying behaviour, they should inform the police.
The police say drones are not just a potential security risk, they also challenge privacy. For this reason, drones in the daytime can also trigger questions and reports.
For general information on drones, the public may consult the police or contact them on the "blue line" hotline +352 244 244 244.
113 should be reserved for emergencies or specific suspicious situations.
