🇱🇺 Galgenbierg park, Belvaux, commune of Sanem, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg
A patrol of Luxembourg’s Grand Ducal Police stopped two suspicious cars near the
Galgenbierg park in Belvaux early on Friday 25 January 2019, at about 2.30 in
the morning.[1]Approaching the vehicles, the officers smelled marijuana and
searched the cars more closely.[2]
In one car they found a large amount of marijuana in a first-aid kit, and
another larger bag of marijuana beside a knife.[1]A shoulder bag in the same
car held 35 grams of hashish.[1]Police gave no weight for the marijuana in
the kit or the bag, so the report records only the 35 grams of hashish.[2]
The two people in the car, a woman and a man, were arrested and taken to the
police station.[1]The public prosecutor’s office, which learned of the
seizure, ordered a search of the pair’s home.[2]Their car was seized.[1]Both were to be brought before an investigating judge, the magistrate who
oversees a criminal investigation in Luxembourg.[2]
The police statement grouped the Belvaux arrests with an unrelated drug arrest
in Differdange the next evening, bringing the weekend total to three, and only
the Belvaux arrest is recorded here.[1]
