Some residents and businessmen don’t even think there’s a problem. Like Lorenzo Medico, who recently chose downtown Wilkes-Barre as the home to his new bar, Luna.

“This so-called surge in crime is one I am personally not aware of,” Medico said. “If anything, I believe the crime rate has decreased, especially with the advent of the new light posts, the new influx of businesses downtown and now River Walk. Let us not forget that the police force is out in droves from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. every night. I do not fear the crime or threat thereof. In any major city, you are going to have crime. The important thing is to minimize it, as well as deter [criminals] from the area.”
