At around 2pm, a man tried to steal perfume worth almost €700 from a shop on Rue Alphonse Weicker in Luxembourg City. He was stopped by security staff and held until police arrived.

On Tuesday, at around 9.20am, police were called to a break-in at a shop on Avenue de la Gare. According to the police, a man had forced his way in by pushing open the entrance door and taken various goods, but was spotted and stopped near the exit by staff and two security guards.
Checks by officers revealed he had already been involved in two other shop thefts on Avenue de la Gare earlier that day. The stolen goods, which he still had with him, were seized. He was arrested on the orders of the public prosecutor’s office and appeared before an examining magistrate on Wednesday.
On Wednesday afternoon, a van was broken into in Bech-Kleinmacher while two employees were making a delivery, having left the vehicle parked on Naumbergerwee. A rucksack was searched, and two mobile phones and personal documents were stolen.
Later that evening, at 7.10pm, two suspects tried to break into a house on Rue Abbé Édouard in Garnich via the garden, but were spotted by a neighbour and fled when the neighbour approached.
Police later found damage to the cellar door and a patio window. A search involving several patrols and a police helicopter failed to locate the suspects.
Police are reminding the public to take appropriate measures to protect their homes against burglary, especially in autumn and winter, when it gets dark earlier.
