Breast implant maker arrested

The owner of a French breast implant maker at the centre of a safety scare has been arrested in the south of France, police sources have said. Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) founder Jean-Claude Mas, 72, was held at his home in Six-Fours-les-Plages, according to the AFP news agency.
