VIRGINIA BEACH
When two men with “Meter Enforcement” printed on their uniforms poured a large amount of change into a coin-exchange machine, then drove away in a vehicle with a Virginia Beach Parking Enforcement logo, a store manager became suspicious, police said.
The manager alerted police, who investigated the Monday incident.
On Tuesday, police arrested Christopher Miles Williams, 33, and on Wednesday they arrested Mark Anthony Apperson, 51, both parking enforcement employees who work for a contractor hired by Virginia Beach. The men, who are not city employees, were charged this week with embezzlement and conspiracy to commit a felony, according to a news release.
The amount of missing change was $1,300, according to police.
Williams and Apperson were supposed to deliver locked boxes of change from city parking meters to a city account.
Both men are Beach residents. Williams was arrested at his home; Apperson turned himself in.
They are out on bond.
