Police are looking for a Brooklyn man suspected of stealing 87 parking meters in Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay and Bensonhurst.Maurice Mizrahi, 34, of Gravesend has been arrested 7 times in
the last year for stealing the coin-operated meters, police said.
No one has ever actually seen him stealing the meters, which are
quite heavy and extremely difficult to remove, according to police. And
yet several of them were actually extracted from the sidewalk
-- poles and all -- which in some cases went two feet deep
into the ground.
A woman, who police believe to be Mizrahi's mother, called 911 on
Wednesday after discovering 19 of them in her house at 2032 East 1st
street in Brooklyn's Gravesend section.
She then called again Thursday to tell police she had found many
more meters in a crawlspace in her home, and police removed the
additional 68 meters from the home Friday morning.
