On the night of 1 to 2 March 2026, Luxembourg’s Grand-Ducal Police were alerted to a man repeatedly moving in a vehicle near a reception facility at Kirchberg, apparently armed.[1] The Parquet, Luxembourg’s public prosecutor’s office, ordered a search of the man’s vehicle and a search of his home.[1] Local station officers carried out the operation with the support of the Grand-Ducal Police special unit.[1]

In the searches, officers found a firearm that was not covered by weapons and ammunition legislation.[1] They also found cannabis plants described as illegally cultivated.[1] Officers also found material that could be used for drug trafficking.[1] They also found counterfeit banknotes alongside the weapon, the plants and the trafficking material.[1] Police seized the illicit and dangerous objects found during the operation.[1]

The cannabis enforcement component therefore consisted of the illegally grown plants and the suspected trafficking material within a wider seizure that also included the weapon and fake notes.[1] The prosecutor’s order linked the vehicle search and the home search as parts of the same Kirchberg operation.[1]
