Police embarked on a high-speed car chase when pursuing a suspected drunk driver in the early hours of Sunday.
They clocked the motorist driving at high speed through rue Beggen in Echternach at about 3am.
When officers gave chase, the motorists sped up to 120 kilometres per hour in a bid to out run them. The driver eventually stopped the car.
A subsequent breathalyser test showed them to be over the legal alcohol limit. It was the second time the motorist had been stopped for driving under the influence of alcohol. Their car was confiscated.
