Police that man's girlfriend, a policewoman, was also taken into custody. No details about the other two people detained were released. No one has been charged.

Since the attacks, French police have carried out dozens of raids on suspected militants, but no one connected to Said and Cherif Kouachi — the brothers who killed 12 people at the satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo before themselves being killed by French security forces — has been formally sought since the attacks, or is in custody.
