HENDERSON â A Bertie County man is facing criminal charges in connection with two break-ins this year that targeted the N.C. Department of Transportationâs maintenance yard on Gillburg Road in Vance County.
Wesley Edward White, of Windsor, North Carolina, faces 40 counts of breaking and entering, felonious larceny of motor vehicle parts and larceny of non-ferrous precious metals, Vance County Sheriff Curtis Brame said.
White is being held in the Bertie County Jail on a secured bond of almost $1.3 million, and authorities expect to lodge more charges against him in the coming weeks, Brame said.
The Gillburg DOT yard wasnât the only one targeted, as there were similar crimes in a number of other counties, the sheriff said.
HENDERSON â Vance County Sheriff Curtis Brame says the three deputies facing criminal charges that accuse them of conspiring to mount an end run around North Carolinaâs asset-forfeiture laws are suspended pending the resolution of their charges.
But the sheriff also said that while an internal investigation found âviolation of office policy and [a] lack of training,â he also believes that âprotocol was followedâ and âat this time, I do not have any evidence that would warrant the charges brought against them.â
Brameâs comments, issued via an emailed written statement, responded to the booking the day before of his second-in-command, Maj. Steve Staton, and narcotics deputies Mitch Pittman and Purav Patel.
