Paris, Shawwal 18, 1439, Jul 2, 2018, SPA -- Some 2,900 French police and gendarmes were Monday searching for a convicted armed robber, the Interior Ministry said, a day after a helicopter-borne commando sprung him from a jail south of Paris. Justice Minister Nicole Belloubet said she had ordered an investigation into the getaway of Redoine Faid, who was serving a 25-year sentence for a 2010 robbery in which a policewoman was killed, dpa reported. Drones had been seen above the prison in recent months and investigators would be looking into whether they had been used to plot the escape, Belloubet said. --SPA 21:22 LOCAL TIME 18:22 GMT 0028 www.spa.gov.sa/w711387
