The start of the Christmas holidays and the associated season seem to be increasingly used for break-ins into single-family homes and apartments. A police statement from Sunday morning reported “around a dozen” such incidents “in the past few hours.”
Accordingly, the residents of an apartment building on Rue de Bridel in Walferdingen were woken up in the middle of the night, around 2:30 a.m. this Sunday, by noises from the basement. “When they looked to the right, they found two burglars on the ground floor who immediately fled,” said the police, who went on to say that the subsequent search was unsuccessful.
On Saturday, according to the Police Grand-Ducale, around 8 p.m. in the Rue des Jardins in Übersyren, a resident became aware of “an attempted break-in through the noise of a window being opened.” Here too, there was a “wide-ranging search for the burglar or burglars”, judging by the lack of mention of an arrest in the police report, but probably without success.
A single-family home on Bissener Rue Jean-Baptiste Kremer had previously been the target of a break-in on Saturday. According to the officers, the perpetrator or perpetrators probably broke down a patio door between 3 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. to gain access to the interior.
