Authorities in France have reportedly arrested a man as part of the ongoing investigation into last month's deadly terror attacks in Paris.

The 29-year-old suspect was arrested Tuesday in the Paris area, according to the BBC. French media have reported that he was planning to travel to Syria.

Following the November 13 attacks, authorities have conducted thousands of raids and have placed hundreds of people under house arrest as part of an ongoing terrorism crackdown, according to French wire service AFP. This recent suspect is one of roughly a dozen people to be arrested or taken into police custody in connection with the attacks across France and Belgium, AFP reports.

At least 130 people died in the series of coordinated bombings and shootings across the city. Security remains high across France, where a state of emergency remains in effect.

Two other people have also been arrested in connection with a January shooting at a kosher supermarket, The Associated Press reports. Seventeen people were killed in the attacks carried out at the market and Charlie Hebdo publication that day.
