Authorities in St. Paul are looking into whether an employee hired to collect coins from parking meters has been pocketing some of the money rather than turning it in.

A credit union employee tipped off police to the possibility after she said she noticed a man repeatedly depositing a large amount of cash, often consisting of quarters, according to KSTP-TV.

No charges have been filed against the employee, but a judge has issued a search warrant to determine if a crime has been committed, the station said.
