Violence continues in London (Mian Shakeel Aslam)

Mian Shakeel Aslam -- Violence that appears to have initially been sparked by last week's shooting death of a 29-year-old man broke out for a third consecutive day Monday -- this time in daylight -- with gangs of youths marauding through areas of London.

Street disturbances appeared to have spread to Birmingham, about 120 miles from London, where police said "several premises" in the city center had been attacked "with some shop windows smashed and property stolen in various locations." A police spokeswoman in Birmingham said extra officers were on patrol.

The office of British Prime Minister David Cameron announced that Cameron would be returning to London Monday night, cutting short a vacation in Italy, for meetings to discuss the violence.

As disturbances flared in various parts of London, an official from the London Fire Brigade told CNN: "We are now too busy now to take any calls from the media."

In the Hackney area of east London, gangs attacked a police car and shops. Video showed riot police involved in skirmishes, youths destroying a police car, smashing shop windows, a sporting goods shop being looted and the window of another shop being smashed.
