The city's Department of Public Works was forced to replace 16 missing manhole covers from East Lombard Street after they were stolen earlier this week, officials said.
The manhole covers, ranging from 12 to 30 inches in diameter, were taken from the 5900 to 6300 blocks of East Lombard, department of public works officials said.
They were reported missing before noon on Tuesday.
Anyone with information on the missing manhole covers is asked to call 911.
