Several suspects are on the run after they robbed a bank on the Champs-Elysees in broad daylight, Paris police said.
According to French newspaper Le Parisien and broadcaster BFM TV, at least three armed men entered the branch of the Milleis bank on the morning of Tuesday, 22 January.
The prosecutor office did not provide details on how much the robbers made away with.
The area was closed to the public with many police officers working on site on Tuesday afternoon.
