A small group of city residents attended last night’s crime watch meeting in Aliquippa council chambers. According to Beaver County Radio News Correspondent Sandy Giordano, Crime Watch chairperson Catherine Colalella told those present: “we need people to speak up if they see something unusual going on.”” She had Crime Watch signs that can be affixed on, Several violent crimes have taken place  in the city recently and all those present agreed that something needs to be done. Councilman Donald Walker told those present if you fear retaliation you can take info to the station .  The crime tips email line is also in operation, and if you see a crime and have photos they can be sent to the line, he said. The biggest complaint residents have is the drug traffic, and most aren’t from Aliquippa.  Several drug overdoses have taken place in the city recently. Another concern is inoperable street lights.  Residents were advised to write down the pole numbers off the tag and give them to Kelly Callen in the city building, and Duquesne Light will be called. It was announced last night that 3 men face 44 charges  in a recent rape  in the city.
