NEW YORK (AP) -- Three city traffic enforcement agents were arrested on Tuesday and charged with writing dozens of falsified tickets for cars parked on Manhattan streets, police said.
The agents were facing forgery and other criminal charges following an internal affairs investigation, said New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne. A fourth agent also was expected to be charged.
Investigators believe that the agents drew up fraudulent parking tickets on at least 46 occasions, Browne said. Those tickets will be voided, he added.
The agents were accused of randomly jotting down license plate and other information from parked cars during the morning, whether they were in violation or not. They then recorded the information later in the day to make it appear as if they had been busy writing tickets, authorities said.
