Man accused of stealing several Topeka parking meters

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Topeka man is accused of stealing more than two dozen parking meters from the downtown area. Police say the 32-year-old suspect was arrested Monday and faces several charges. Officers had been investigating the theft last week of 26 coin-operated parking meters. Around midnight Monday, a caller told police they saw someone walking with a shopping cart in an area of downtown and possibly stealing meters. Officers arrived and arrested the suspect. They say he was in possession of several recently-stolen meters. The man is jailed without bond.
