Over a 5-year period from Jan. 5, 2009 to May 6, 2014, the defendant, a Parking Enforcement Officer for the village of Mount Kisco, stole from the village parking meters.

The defendant would empty the meters and deposit part of the proceeds, usually in the form of quarters, into his bank account at the local branch of People’s United Savings Bank on Moger Avenue in the village, the DA said.

The total amount of the larceny is in excess of $89,000.

Mount Kisco police were alerted to the thefts and along with investigators from the District Attorney’s office initiated a surveillance of the defendant over a period of time.

Assistant District Attorney Steven Ronco of the Public Integrity Bureau is prosecuting the case.
