| Alert Title | Third Degree Burglary of Parking Meters | ||
| Alert Area | Gold Hill | Neighborhood | Downtown Colorado Springs |
| Alert Description | There is an ongoing crime pattern in the downtown area involving the unlawful entry and removal of coins from city owned parking meters. It is apparent that the suspect and or suspects have created a method to gain entry into the meters without causing any damage to the meters. This information serves as a request for citizens in the downtown area to watch for suspicious activity in and around parking meters. The city employs three official “Parking Meter Mechanics” who are responsible for the legal removal of coins from meters. These mechanics wear a uniform consisting of dark blue or grey pants and a light grey shirt. The shirt has an embroidered “City of Colorado Springs” logo on the left breast pocket. They also wear a variety of different weight jackets and at times heavy parkas during the winter months and they can wear wind breakers and sweatshirts in the spring and fall. The jackets are also dark blue and have the City Logo embroidered on the left breast pocket. Each mechanic also carries their City ID badge with them whenever they are at work. The mechanics also walk with a collection cart that is painted dark grey and they have reflective yellow and black tape on them with a “Property of the City of Colorado Springs” decal on them. Unlawfully tampering with or defeating the locking mechanism on city parking meters is a Third Degree Burglary which is a class 5 felony. Please report any suspicious activity if you see it to the Colorado Springs Police Department as soon as possible. Thank you. | ||
