In 2025, the Grand Ducal police reported 92 cases of theft involving violence. In 80 instances, the perpetrators were successful, while 12 remained attempts at robbery. The figures are provisional and may vary once police investigations and procedures have concluded.

The definitive statistics will be published in the annual police activity report in April, ministers Gloden and Margue wrote in response to a parliamentary question submitted by the Pirate Party.

The question actually demanded statistics on knife crime in particular over the last 12 months. However, it is not feasible to run an automated search in police data archives focusing specifically on knife attacks or other stab weapons. The police database corresponds to the categories found in the Penal Code, which separates incidents of “theft” or “theft with violence and weapons in public”.
