YORK, Maine - A Rochester, N.H., man has been indicted by a York County grand jury in a series of burglaries and thefts in Lebanon.

Derek T. Masse was formally charged in several incidents that occurred in September and October of last year, including receiving stolen property less than $500 on Sept. 7; theft by deception of less than $500 on Oct. 15; and burglary, criminal mischief and theft of goods or services greater than $500 on Oct. 17.

All the incidents took place in Lebanon.

The most serious charge of burglary of a dwelling is a Class B felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

The York County grand jury indictments were handed down on April 3 and released on Thursday.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt, only that enough evidence has been gathered to warrant a trial.
