CCTV footage shows looters smashing the windows of a jewelry store in Lyon, France, rummaging through drawers, destroying displays and emptying cases during a weekend of unrest.

The looting followed weeks of protests over living costs and public services that turned violent across several French cities. 

The Federation of Trade and Retail reported nearly 3,000 shops got caught in the chaos nationwide. French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu hasn't ruled out a state of emergency, while localized curfews remain the government's preferred response for now.
