At around 3 pm, four men attempted to mug a person standing near the Pescatore bus stop. However, the victim fought back, leading to their necklace being damaged but not stolen. The victim later filed a complaint.
According to the police, the four men appeared to be of north African descent. One of them was wearing sweatpants as well as a black pullover with coloured text. Potential witnesses are asked to contact the Luxembourg City police department.
At about 5.15 pm, a man had his gold necklace stolen by a group of culprits on Rue des Gaulois in Bonnevoie. The police reports that the five men appeared to be of north African descent and wore dark clothing.
A police patrol checked two men who matched the description. Both were unable to present valid identification documents but were instead found to be in possession of marijuana and hashish. Police issued a fine and reported one of the two men to the authorities, as he was found to be in Luxembourg illegally.
At around 6.20 pm, two men set their eyes on yet another necklace. According to the police report, the culprits initially approached their victim in the capital's municipal park Kinnekswiss and asked whether he was interested in buying drugs. They then suddenly punched the victim in the stomach and ripped the necklace from his neck. The culprits then took of the locket and left the victim only with the chain. The name "Nick G." is engraved on the locket alongside a date and a time of birth.
The police states that both men appeared to be of north African descent, were tall, between 25 and 30 years old, and wore black clothes. One of them wore a black hat and the other a grey beanie.
At around 11.15 pm, three culprits mugged a person on Boulevard Roosevelt and robbed them of practically everything they had: One pair of white Air Force shoes, a gold watch, a gold necklace, and an iPhone.
According to the police report, the three culprits are between 22 and 25 years old and have a dark skin tone. One of them wore a red bandana and has a nose piercing. The culprits were moving around on bicycles.
Recently, the security situation in Luxembourg's capital sparked a national discussion, notably also due to Luxembourg City Mayor Lydie Polfer deploring the situation. Minister of Internal Security Henri Kox also confirmed that there had been a series of muggings which involved the culprits specifically targeting necklaces and watches. The robberies sometimes occur in broad daylight as well. However, Kox also pointed out that compared to previous years, there had been fewer muggings on average over the first four months of the year in Luxembourg City.
The police also report that they were able to arrest a home invader. The inebriated man had broken into a residential building and spend the night there. When he woke up in the morning, he noticed that the door of the house on Place de Paris in Luxembourg City was locked. He then tried to exit the house through the cellar. It was at this point that he was caught by the police. The man, who is well known to the police, was arrested on the orders of the public prosecutor's office and presented to an examining magistrate.
Finally, police reported two drunk drivers who were out past curfew. One of them was caught along Rue de Diekirch in Helmsange at around 2 am. Police confiscated the driver's licence and issued a fine for non-compliance with Covid-19 measures. The other driver was pulled over two hours earlier in Knaphoscheid due to their erratic driving style. The driver turned out to be a heavily intoxicated father who had his underage son with him in the car. The man also did not have a driving licence. The public prosecutor's office was informed.
