A Bennington man has been indicted on charges out of the Hillsborough Superior Court, North, on charges relating to an incident in Manchester where he knowingly received a stolen vehicle.
Maurice A. Belmore Jr., 51, was indicted on charges of receiving stolen property and operating after certification as a habitual offender.
Belmore allegedly received a 1998 Volvo in Hancock on June 10, 2016, knowing or believing that it had probably been stolen, and drove the vehicle, despite his license being under revocation or suspension.
Receiving stolen property is a class B felony, punishable by three and a half to seven years in prison and up to a $400 fine.
Operating after certification as a habitual offender is also a class B felony, punishable by two and a half to five years in prison.
Indictments are not an indicator of guilt or innocence, but show that a grand jury found there was enough evidence of a crime to bring the case to trial.
