Louis Le Franc, the high commissioner of New Caledonia, announced new security deployments. The number of police and gendarmes on the island will rise to 2,700 from 1,700 by Friday evening. “Reinforcements will be arriving … to control the areas that have escaped us in recent days, where control is no longer assured,” Le Franc told reporters at a briefing. One person suspected of homicide surrendered to the authorities, he said. After rioting that began on Monday, leaving five dead and resulting in hundreds of arrests, Thursday night was relatively calm, he said. However, there were still points of confrontation and concern in Nouméa.
