On Thursday afternoon, two soldiers of the Luxembourg army were walking along the rue du Herrenberg in Diekirch when they came across a tortoise.
This happened at around 14:00; they brought the animal (circa 17cm long) to the police station in the town as they felt its owner must be looking for it.
An employee of the Grand ducal Police is taking care of the animal and brought it to the veterinarian as it appeared to have minor injuries to its claws. The officer will continue to feed and take care of the animal until its owner is located.
To claim the tortoise, or provide information on its possible owner, contcat the Police station in Diekirch, tel: 4997-8500.
