Hundreds of youths smashed, burned and looted their way through Greek cities in a third day of mayhem after the shooting of a teenager by police sparked the worst riots in decades.

Dozens of shops, banks and luxury hotels were damaged and cars torched as youths fought running battles with riot police through the night.

Black smoke rose above central Athens, mingling with clouds of tear gas. Broken glass littered the streets.
