Hundreds of police officers fanned out across northern France in a massive manhunt for a fugitive gangster known as “The Fly”. “The Fly” escaped on May 14 after gunmen ambushed a prison van transporting him, killing two guards. Interior Minister Darmanin said that France had mobilised extensive resources, including foreign assistance, to capture the armed gang. Four-hundred and fifty officers were deployed to Eure region where the attack took place. Interpol on May 15 said it issued an international arrest warrant, a ‘Red Notice’, for fugitive Mohamed Amra, at the request of French authorities.
