Home of the great Paris-Roubaix "Hell Of The North" bicycle race.
Lots of challenging and rough cobbled roads in that region of the country.

If it is a bank robbery, then further proof that criminals aren't very smart. France is on high alert right now, not exactly the best time to commit a high-profile crime.

Since the authorities did not immediately announce “This is not a terrorist attack and has nothing to do with Islam,” there is an actual possibility that this is not a terrorist attack and has nothing to do with Islam.

Apparently also a Muslim rich town. Interesting to see the nationalities of the bank robbers.
