Shortly after 5am on Saturday, police were alerted to a burglar on Rue Charles Martel in Merl. The intruder entered a building through a window and escaped again on a bicycle. A police patrol was able to identify the suspect soon after. By order of the prosecutor’s officer, the burglar was arrested and the stolen goods returned.

At 12.50pm on Friday, police officers stopped a suspicious man on Rue de Strasbourg in Luxembourg City’s Gare district. They realised that he was hiding something in his mouth, which he tried to swallow when asked to spit it out. Officers took the man to the police station, where he ended up handing over packages of prohibited substances. A scan ordered by the prosecutor’s office showed further packages, which is why the dealer was arrested. Police also confiscated three phones and cash money.

Police were also alerted to a knife-wielding man in an apartment in Beggen. Once officers arrived at the scene, the aggressor continued making threats and insults. He was thus arrested and presented to an examining magistrate on Monday morning.
