Police in the southern city of Marseille have spent a week trying to find some explosives that they lost in the cargo area of Marseille airport.
According to Europe1 radio, the material was hidden during an exercise to train police dogs to find explosives. The only problem is officers forgot where they had placed it and it seems the dogs had not been sufficiently trained to be able track down the scent.

Police have reassured the public that the material is harmless without a firing device.
