France says Police to use armoured vehicles against riots



French police will use armoured vehicles to suppress riots, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said Friday, after three nights of violence following the deadly shooting of a teenager during a traffic stop.

"Additional mobile forces" would be deployed along with the vehicles belonging to France's gendarmerie, Borne said, also announcing the cancellation of "large-scale events binding personnel and potentially posing risks to public order".
