AFPA crime wave on the Franco-Dutch Caribbean holiday island of St Martin, five days after hurricane Irma ripped through, has everyone on edge. "They're looting the shops." "They told me that people's security is the priority and that the rest is only material, that it's not important." The shopkeeper moved to St Martin seven years ago. On the Dutch side of the island, too, there are complaints of looting and criticism of the official response.
