Airsoft, alcohol and weaving on the A4: two drivers apprehended
According to L'Essentiel, two drivers under the influence of alcohol were stopped by Luxembourg police on Saturday in two separate incidents.
The first took place shortly after 4pm on rue Op der Stee in Schengen, after a witness reported an individual handling what appeared to be a firearm in his vehicle. Several patrols attended the scene and located the vehicle at the driver's home. A search revealed an airsoft revolver operating on CO₂, accompanied by its accessories — all of which were seized.
Police officers observed signs of alcohol and drug consumption in the driver. Both the alcohol breath test and the rapid cannabis screening test proved positive. His driving licence was withdrawn and a provisional driving ban was notified to him. Several penalty notices were issued for driving under the influence and breach of firearms legislation.
The second incident occurred around 11pm. Police were notified that a vehicle was weaving on the A4 motorway heading towards Luxembourg-City, regularly changing speed and coming to a halt several times in the middle of the road. A patrol located the driver shortly after at the intersection of rue Pierre-Frieden and rue Xavier-Brasseur in Oberkorn.
The alcohol breath test carried out on the spot proved positive. His driving licence was also withdrawn and a provisional driving ban was notified to him. A penalty notice was issued.
