Police were called yesterday to the 500 block of North Pearl Street following the discovery of security video showing a male fishing into the after-hours utility payment box for the city.
It occurred between 1:20 a.m. and 2:20 a.m. yesterday, according to the Centralia Police Department.
The city suggests that anyone who dropped off a payment into the red box in front of the customer service center since 4:30 p.m. on Friday should call them at 360-330-7657 to ensure it was received.
Also, any customers who notice anything unusual about the processing of their account should call, according to city officials.
