Let me take you live to the scene of one of those raids north of paris. Atika, you were talking before about how police amassed in this forest combing through this forest. Tell me whats led them there. Reporter well what led them there was this gas station early this morning at 10 30 where the attendant says he saw two suspects apparently armed and they stole fuel food and then quickly sped away. Apparently that gas station attendant called the police and thats when the tipoff came earlier today.
