Paris police have banned people from carrying petrol or fireworks after riots over the weekend. The restriction applies to possession of those items in the French capital as authorities seek to prevent another violent escalation. Petrol can be used to start fires, while fireworks can pose a similar public safety risk in crowded areas. The short report does not specify when the ban began or how long it will remain in force. It also gives no information about how the order is enforced. No figures are provided for arrests or other security operations following the disturbances. The measure forms part of the police response to the weekend violence.
