The downtown St. Pete parking meters were vandalized three times over the last two weeks. Police shared their frustrations earlier in the week after more than 70 meters were damaged.
"This is a waste of time, resources and taxpayer money. It might seem like a silly prank, but this is no laughing matter," Sandra Bentil with St. Petersburg Police said earlier in the week.
