The Basque militant group ETA may be behind an armed robbery in south-east France, police say.
Three masked gunmen tied up an employee of the Impuls company in Bourg-de-Peage last night before stealing thousands of cards which contain built-in microchips and seven printers. The man was not injured. The cards and printers are used by the French government to produce identity cards for it's citizens.
ETA members have been known to use false documents when travelling.
The group has been on ceasefire since early September while it's supporters have formed a new political party which opposes violence.
