France deployed 45,000 police backed by light armored vehicles on June 30 to quell violent protests for the fourth consecutive night after police shot dead a 17-year-old boy.
Despite the presence of security forces, looting continued on the evening of June 30 (local time) in the cities of Lyon, Marseille and Grenoble, with hooded rioters looting stores. Protesters also set cars and trash bins on fire.
On the same day, looting broke out in broad daylight in the eastern French city of Strasbourg, where rioters targeted an Apple Store and several other stores.
Meanwhile, in the city of Marseille, police used tear gas to suppress the situation after several young people threw objects at police vehicles. French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin announced that on June 30, police arrested 270 people nationwide, including 80 in Marseille.
