On Sunday 8 November 2026, the Grand Ducal Police reported several thefts and attempted thefts from vehicles, as well as incidents of property damage, which occurred across Luxembourg throughout the weekend.
During the night leading up to Saturday 7 November 2026, an unknown individual damaged all four tyres of a vehicle parked in a public car park on Route de Diekirch in Bettendorf. According to initial information, the perpetrator punctured the tyres using an unknown object.
Another incident occurred in Reisdorf. Police received reports of damage to the entrance doors of two neighbouring residential buildings on Route de Larochette. According to initial findings, an unknown individual struck the doors on separate occasions.
The door lock of one house sustained damage, while the entrance door of the second house could no longer close properly, despite showing no visible external damage. No one entered either property and no items were stolen.
At around 11:30 on Saturday, police received a report of a theft from a vehicle parked on Rue de Kirchberg in Luxembourg-Kirchberg. Unknown perpetrators smashed the rear side window and stole a bag containing, among other items, a hat and gloves.
Later, at approximately 13:00, another theft occurred at a petrol station on the A6 motorway in Capellen. While the driver and a passenger were briefly inside the petrol station, an unknown individual stole a bag from the vehicle's boot. The bag contained a tablet, cash and sunglasses, among other belongings.
In the early afternoon, a witness observed a man smashing the window of a parked vehicle on Rue Basse in Steinsel before leaving the scene.
A police patrol located the suspect shortly afterwards at a bus stop. During a subsequent search, officers found a screwdriver, an emergency hammer and a utility knife, among other items.
Police filed reports in all five cases and launched further investigations into the vehicle-related incidents.
The police reminded motorists not to leave valuables, bags or electronic devices inside parked vehicles. They also advised drivers to ensure all windows and doors are fully closed and vehicles properly locked, even when leaving them unattended for a short period.
