PARIS (AP) — French police conducted a nationwide search Friday for a security driver who vanished with euro11 million ($7.4 million) in cash from a bank in the central city of Lyon, authorities said.



Lyon prosecutor Xavier Richard said the 39-year-old suspect appeared to have acted alone and prepared his escape in advance. A police search revealed that the suspect's apartment was empty, there were no sheets on the bed and the refrigerator was empty.



Police were on the lookout at all major airports Friday as well as French border points for the suspect, a single man with no children. Other police forces in members of the visa-free Schengen zone for European citizens also were alerted. By nightfall Friday, the suspect was still on the loose.



The driver had picked up the money Thursday at the Banque de France branch in Lyon with two other security workers.
