JAKARTA – Indonesian police on Tuesday said they have arrested dozens of people for looting on the earthquake and tsunami-struck island of Sulawesi, where survivors have raided shops for water, food, and other goods. “On the first and second day clearly no shops were open. ADVERTISEMENT“But after day two, the food supply started to come in, it only needed to be distributed,” the police official added. Police in Palu have largely stood by, unable or unwilling to stop the looting. AFP reporters on the ground have witnessed locals also looting clothes shops.
