NEWBURGH – A Newburgh
couple has been arrested and charged with stealing 10 city parking meters.
Jesse Diaz, 43, and Kimberly Cook, 30, were spotted at 5 a.m. on Tuesday
removing a parking meter and pole from the area of Broadway and Fullerton
Avenue.
Officers located the couple and learned they had taken the device to the
basement of a vacant city-owned building where they were apparently living.
That’s where investigators found the other meters with a total estimated
value of $9,600.
Diaz and Cook were each charged with burglary, criminal mischief, grand
larceny and criminal possession of stolen property, all as felonies.
