No separate date for the searches was published; 20 February 2014 is the article's publication date and is used as the incident date.
The article gives no figure for the number of plants found in the Luxembourg City attic, only "further plants".
No arrests, suspects, charges or court outcome were reported for either find.
Neither the family home in Belvaux nor the Luxembourg City address is identified, so the coordinates mark the country rather than a single scene.
Only one article on this event could be opened; a police statement or local-language report was not accessible to confirm or extend the account.
The article describes "other drugs paraphernalia" without naming the items.
The plant photos are credited only to L'essentiel with no captions stating which attic they show.
The index nomination benelux-knokke-athus-sweep-seven-arrests was checked: that report covers a September 2026 Benelux border-control operation, a different event.
No figure for the total weight of the seized plants was published; 14.9 grams is the marijuana found in the Luxembourg City attic only.
