Police in the Argentine province of Buenos Aires today arrested 117 people during looting at supermarkets in two towns near the capital, Governor Daniel Scioli said.

The detentions in the country’s most populous province came after attacks yesterday on stores in several other cities, including the mountain resort of Bariloche and Rosario, a port town on the Parana River, where two people were shot dead during confrontations with police.
