The suspect was apprehended shortly afterwards. Several coins and an open cash register were found and seized outside the shop. The suspected stolen property was subsequently returned to its rightful owner.
On the orders of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the suspect was arrested and subsequently taken to the pre-trial detention centre. He appeared before an investigating judge on Thursday 5 November.
Additionally, in the early evening of Wednesday 4 November, police were informed of a shoplifting incident at a store in Differdange where a man had stolen a rucksack and several cans of beer.
