Reports say that a group of armed men may have taken hostages in the northern French town of Roubaix.

There are conflicting initial reports on local media on where exactly in the town the incident is taking place.
Local media said the incident took place at around 19:00 local time (18:00 GMT).

Witnesses reported gunshots being fired. Media reports say the neighbourhood has been closed off by police.
It is not yet clear if the incident is related to the ongoing security situation in France following the 13 November attacks in Paris.

Actually, yeah, thank God, because in the case of robbery most of the hostages tend to make it out alive.

is considered mild stuff, we've entered new territory -

not what I would consider to be a good time to commit an armed robbery. But I guess if they are crooks education was not a high priority in their upbringing.

Just how stupid does one have to be to cook up an armed robbery during a declared high alert.
