Around 11.30 a.m., a burglar attempted a break-in on Rue Dicks in Remich. After entering an apartment building, he knocked on several doors to see if anybody was home. After not getting a response at one door, he successfully picked the lock, only to find that an additional chain blocked his entry. Furthermore, the tenant was in fact at home and began screaming when the door opened. The burglar fled as a consequence.

In the Mersch region, a police patrol observed a reckless driver in the early afternoon. When stopping the car in question, the officers noticed the smell of marijuana and thus confronted the driver. He handed over a small amount of weed, but the police further discovered a baton, pepper spray, and a butterfly knife. As the driver's drug test came back positive, he was handed a fine. His car and the aforementioned items were all confiscated.

In Reisdorf, a drunk driver committed a hit-and-run in the early morning hours. A witnessed alerted the police to the driver after he damaged another vehicle and fled the scene. Officers were able to find the culprit near a forest soon after. As the alcohol test came back positive, his license was revoked at the scene.

Shortly after 3 a.m., a police patrol noticed a couple walking outside in Strassen. When the officers stationed their car to check whether they had a valid reason for breaking the curfew, both got into a car and drove away rapidly. The police eventually caught up before the couple could make it onto the A6 motorway. The driver's alcohol test came back positive. He was fined for drunk driving, as well as for breaking the curfew.
