French prosecutors say police have tracked three suspects involved in last week's defacing of the Paris Holocaust memorial across the border into Belgium.

Speaking on Wednesday, prosecutors said the suspects were caught on security footage as they moved through Paris before "departing for Belgium from the Bercy bus station" in southeast Paris.
