Zelie to install security cameras to curb vandalism
ZELIENOPLE — Council leaders plan to spend nearly $26,000 on 34 security cameras to reduce vandalism and other crime in the borough.
According to Don Pepe, borough manager, about a half dozen acts of vandalism have been reported in the Zelienople Community Park over the last six months.
“It seems rather senseless in terms of why it’s being done, and how much, but it’s a lot,” Pepe said. “And in this particular environment, although we don’t like to ... spend money for this, we have to.”
In one case, vandals destroyed the women’s bathroom by the park’s basketball courts, tearing the place apart, he said.
