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.
