Paris, France: The Paris prosecutor's office is investigating a hoax hostage alert that prompted a major police intervention at a church in the center of the French capital.
Police dispatched a helicopter and barricaded the area around the Saint-Leu church in the Les Halles neighborhood on Saturday, and activated a special app-based public alert system created after deadly attacks in Paris last year. The Interior Ministry later said it was a false alarm.
The prosecutor's office said on Monday that an investigation is under way, and the perpetrators are still at large.
