Police in Luxembourg were told at about 16.25 on Saturday 7 November 2026 that a
person in a car in Op der Stee, in Schengen, was handling what appeared to be a
weapon.[1]Several patrols went to the area, and the car was found and checked
at the driver’s home address in Schengen.[1]
A search of the car found a CO2-powered airsoft revolver and accessories, which
officers seized.[1]Because the driver showed signs of alcohol and possible
drug use, officers ran tests, and both the alcohol test and a rapid screening
test for cannabis came back positive.[1]
Police withdrew the man’s driving licence, served him with a provisional driving
ban and opened several records for driving under the influence of alcohol and
suspected drugs and for an offence against the weapons law.[1]
The same police statement recorded a second, separate case that night, an
alcohol-positive driver stopped in Oberkorn, with no cannabis reported.[1]The
account came from the Police Grand-Ducale, Luxembourg’s national police force,
and the outlet reproduced it crediting the force as its source.[1]The police
force published the same account on its own site under the headline on two
intoxicated drivers and the seized gas-pressure pistol.[2]
