Ten cars and a motorised scooter were set ablaze in the German cities of Berlin and Cologne but police said Wednesday that it was unclear whether there was a connection with the riots sweeping France.

In the capital, vandals ignited six cars and a scooter in the working-class, multi-ethnic districts of Wedding and Pankow, after five vehicles were set alight overnight Sunday.

Police said they had no suspects and could not comment on a possible link to the violence in France.

In Cologne, western Germany, four cars were torched. The authorities said they did not see a connection with the violence in France that has been raging for two weeks.
