Several people appeared last Thursday before the criminal court of Saint Martin in the context of post-Irma looting cases, among the defendants three men and a woman from the Dominican Republic. All admitted the facts and those accused of concealment all admitted to knowing that the objects originated from theft.
A hairdresser who believed that "it was normal"
The first to be called is 38 years old. He lives in Sandy Ground and is a hairdresser. During a road check on September 20, the gendarmes searched his car and discovered dozens of stolen objects. He admits having in particular subtracted on September 9 thirty watches for men, fifteen watches for women, four digital tablets, two pairs of binoculars, fifteen pairs of sunglasses, four digital cameras. "I understand that I made a mistake, but I thought it was normal," he said in court.
