Swiss police were "actively searching" Geneva for suspects who may be linked to last month's attacks in Paris.

In a statement on Thursday (local time) from the canton's security department, it added that the alert level in the western city had been raised.

"Authorities in Geneva yesterday received from (federal authorities) information about suspicious individuals likely to be in Geneva or the Geneva area," the statement said.

"As part of the investigation following the Paris attacks, the Geneva police and its partners are actively looking" for these individuals, it added.
