Muggers grab victim by the hood

A woman was violently pulled by the hood and mugged for 5 euros and a necklace at a bus stop.

The victim was by the Dommeldange bus stop at about 12.30pm on Wednesday when she felt someone pull the hood of her coat. A second person grabbed her shoulder bag and removed five euros. The assailant who had held her by the hood then snatched a necklace from around her neck before the two thieves fled.

Both thieves were dark-skinned, one was 1.9 metres tall, had short black hair and wore a baseball cap with dark jeans and a red sleeveless jacket. He also had an earring. The second was 1.8 metres tall with shoulder-length dreadlocks and wore a black Puma jacket with black hip hop trousers. The second assailant wore two earrings and carried a small Louis Vuitton bag.

Anyone with information relating to the mugging is urged to call Luxembourg police on 113.
