Car burnings are regular occurrences in poor suburbs that ring France's big cities, but the arson is especially prevalent during New Years Eve revelry.
The number of vehicles torched was only 10 short of the record 1,147 burned this time last year, even though the Interior Ministry mobilized 45,000 police during the night -- 10,000 more than 12 months ago.
It is said police detained 549 people overnight, compared with 288 in 2009 New Year celebrations (insert riots). However, unlike in previous years, there were no direct clashes between police and youths. "The few disturbance that did take place were brought swiftly under control," the ministry said in a statement.
