French police have been searching Bouhlel’s home.

“Investigations are currently under way to establish if the individual acted alone or if he had accomplices who might have fled,” interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brander said, according to ABC News.

Bouhlel's ex-wife has been arrested and held in custody, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said.

4. Pokemon Go players warned to be aware of surroundings after masked hold-up.

It's been an unfortunate couple of days for players of the insanely popular Pokemon-catching app, Pokemon Go.

On Wednesday, a man and a woman were held up while playing the app at a skate park in Sydney.

The incident follows another police warning earlier this week about the dangers of playing Pokemon Go while behind the wheel after two motorists were caught in Cabramatta using the app while driving near a busy pedestrian crossing.

Yet another incident this week near Brisbane saw a woman backing her car into another at Toowoomba's Picnic Point during a Pokemon Go session, according to a crash report.

"There were cars pulled over everywhere obviously chasing Pokemon," Brisband panel beater Darren Holmes told ABC News.
