The Grand Ducal Police have reported a theft carried out through a fraud scheme, as well as multiple burglaries, on Thursday 4 December 2025.
According to the police, at around 17:30 on Thursday, officers received a report of a fraud incident on Rue d’Athus in Pétange. A young man reportedly rang the victim’s doorbell claiming to be collecting donations for a charitable organisation. He then asked for tea and to use the toilet, taking advantage of the resident’s brief moment of inattention to steal jewellery and a wristwatch before fleeing. An investigation has been launched.
On Thursday evening, a burglary occurred at a single-family home on Rue des Jardins in Bereldange, where, according to initial information, unknown perpetrators gained entry through a window and rummaged through several rooms before escaping with stolen items.
Another burglary was reported the same evening at a single-family home in Um Reebou in Useldange. Initial findings indicate that unknown perpetrators entered the property through a window and stole several pieces of jewellery. Investigations have been launched in both cases.
