Violent episodes: there is an alarm in area 167
The neighborhood committee launches an appeal
In the middle of the night, when the quiet streets should offer peace and quiet, the 167 zone does
finds himself once again at the center of an unprecedented escalation of violence and hooliganism. The Committee of
167 launches a vibrant appeal, a cry of extreme alarm, yet another appeal, to the community and to
competent authorities in the face of the growing wave of violent actions plaguing the area.
A Situation Out of Control. The reports received by the 167 Committee paint a picture
haunting of a community plagued by crime and instability. Acts of hooliganism have intensified, with incidents of vandalism, physical attacks and intimidation occurring with increasing frequency. Residents are forced to live in the shadow of fear, with their peace of mind and safety at risk.
The 167 Committee, faced with the gravity of the situation, issues an appeal for help
community as a whole and also invites residents to be vigilant, in solidarity and to unite in the fight
against the spread of violence. Collaboration between neighbors and sharing information
crucial may be the key to combating this crime wave and restoring the
safety in the streets they call home. Given the extreme gravity of the situation, we make an extreme appeal to the competent authorities to take concrete and immediate measures to address this growing problem. We ask for an increase in the presence of police forces on the streets, more frequent patrols and a decisive and timely response to reports of suspicious activity or crimes in progress. Once again we relaunch the need to make concrete the memorandum of understanding stipulated by the then Extraordinary Commissioner Alecci and the Prefecture of Barletta-Andria-Trani, relating to “Neighborhood Control”, requested on several occasions by citizens and never taken into consideration .
We reserve the right, however, to submit a formal complaint to the bodies responsible for the protection of
safety of citizens. Only with a joint commitment between the city community and institutions will it be possible
hope to stem this dangerous spiral of violence.
