Liechtenstein State Police Handle Multiple Incidents Over Weekend
The Liechtenstein State Police reported a busy weekend from Friday evening, December 19, 2025, to Sunday afternoon, December 21, 2025, with officers responding to a range of incidents across the principality. The police highlighted a burglary in Vaduz and a peaceful football match as key events during this period.
Burglary and Thefts Reported in Vaduz
On Friday evening, December 19, 2025, around 6:20 PM, an electronic alarm was triggered at a detached house in Vaduz. Investigations by the State Police revealed that unknown perpetrators had gained entry by smashing windows of a winter garden and a terrace door. All rooms inside the residence were searched, though no details regarding stolen items were immediately available.
Further incidents in Vaduz included another reported burglary in an apartment on Sunday afternoon, believed to have occurred between December 17 and 21, 2025. Due to the owners' absence, the extent of any loss remains undetermined. Authorities have not ruled out a connection between these two burglaries. Additionally, in the night from Saturday to Sunday or on Sunday morning, two pairs of glasses were stolen from a presumably unlocked vehicle in Vaduz.
Peaceful Football Match Between FC Vaduz and FC Aarau
In contrast to the criminal activity, a football match held on Friday evening between FC Vaduz and FC Aarau at the Rheinpark Stadion in Vaduz was notably calm from a police perspective. The well-attended stadium maintained a positive atmosphere, with no mutual provocations or significant incidents reported between the fan groups.
Additional Police and Rescue Operations
Beyond the specific incidents, the State Police's patrols were engaged with various other calls throughout the weekend. These included responses to:
- Incidents involving intoxicated persons
- Reports of night noise
- Disputes
- Suspicious observations
Furthermore, on Friday evening around 8:10 PM, a driver in Eschen suspected of being under the influence of alcohol refused a blood test. This has led to the initiation of an administrative procedure for the withdrawal of the driver's license and a report to the public prosecutor's office. A traffic accident in Schaan was also reported on Saturday noon at 12:45 PM via an automatic eCall message. The rescue services were also busy, being dispatched to a total of 17 incidents between Friday evening and Sunday afternoon.

Glad they caught that drunk driver. Important to get dangerous people off the road.

The police are clearly stretched thin handling various calls, which is commendable. However, the fact that there are multiple burglaries, potentially linked, suggests a need for a deeper look into property crime prevention strategies.

Busy weekend? Sounds more like crime is getting out of hand, not just 'busy'.

Another weekend, another burglary in Vaduz. What are the police even doing?

One positive is definitely the calm atmosphere at the football game, showing effective crowd management. Still, the report also reveals persistent issues like property theft and public disturbance, reminding us that constant vigilance is required.
