The phenomenon seems to be increasing in recent weeks: more and more pickpocket thefts have been reported in the capital of Luxembourg according to the police.
The latter specifies that the downtown area and the upper town are particularly targeted.
Theft of valuables
The police recorded, in October, a dozen flight made by pickpockets. They stole valuables such as wallets and smartphones from their victims.
Thieves who “like to use groups of people or crowds to go unnoticed,” said the police.
Watch out for crowd effects
As a result, the police listen to several tips to avoid being robbed:
- Be careful when in a crowd (in waiting girls for example) and keep your distance from strangers
- Keep your wallet in the inside pocket of your jacket
- Never leave your purse out of sight and always make sure it is closed
