Burglary in Luxembourg | Burglary Investigations

Looking at the history of Trier and Luxembourg, many similarities emerge. At first glance, both regions may seem peaceful and tranquil today. Unfortunately, this is only partially true, as our detectives have recently observed in Luxembourg. Overall, the number of crimes in Luxembourg rose by 7.8 per cent in 2014, reaching 43,087 reported cases.

While burglary and break-in offences remained stable in Trier in 2014, Luxembourg experienced a significant increase. Luxembourg City ranks as the third most dangerous city in Europe, based on average crime rates per inhabitant up to 2009. Burglary alone rose by 29 per cent in 2014 – 969 more cases than the previous year. Protecting property, homes, and possessions has therefore become especially important.

Traumatic Consequences of Burglaries

Most burglaries occur during the day, when residents are at work and children are at school. Burglars do not always act cautiously; windows and doors are often damaged. Alongside theft – frequently involving significant financial loss – property damage and vandalism further increase the overall loss.

The situation is particularly traumatic if someone is home during the break-in. In most cases, the intruder will desist due to the presence of occupants, but in the worst cases, victims may be overpowered – sometimes with extreme brutality. Victims therefore suffer not only material loss but also psychological trauma, including the unsettling sense of no longer being safe in their own home. Identifying and locating the perpetrator is a crucial first step in overcoming this trauma. Kurtz Detective Agency Luxembourg and Trier is here to assist.

Violent Offences Often Accompany Property Crimes

Both the police and Luxembourg residents watch this development with concern. As reported by the independent newspaper Luetzeburg Privat on 17 June 2014: "Elderly people are robbed in the street. Taxi drivers are held up, apartments are cleared, cars stolen, women harassed, passers-by attacked, and so on. There is no day in Luxembourg without some form of violent crime. Police officers have been retrained as bureaucrats and traffic enforcers. Meanwhile, violent offenders operate freely."

Increasingly, victims of violent and property crimes turn first to our private detectives in Luxembourg for support.
