      Old Video Of Louis Vuitton Store Being Looted In US Peddled As France

      An old video from Portland, United States of a Louis Vuitton store being looted during protests after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis is being shared with a false claim that it is from France during the recent violence that broke out.

      Widespread riots broke out in France last week after a 17-year-old boy of Algerian heritage was shot dead by a police officer at a traffic stop in the Paris suburb of Nanterre on June 27, 2023. Looting was reported in several cities including Lyon, Marseille and Grenoble.

      Several old and unrelated images and videos are being shared claiming they show scenes of unrest in France.

      The viral video is being shared with the caption, "LOUIS VUITTON is being looted in France.. #FranceRiots #FranceHasFallen #franceViolence"

      The same video was also misreported by Hindustan Times in a video compilation posted on YouTube reporting on the riots in France.
