A Linden gold miner has been charged with stealing over half million dollars in valuables during break-ins in the town.

David Crossman, of Wismar, allegedly broke and entered the Christianburg home of Tinesha Simon and stole valuables amounting to $450,000. A second charge stated that he broke and entered the Linden home of Devon Layne and stole a flat screen TV, valued at $50,000, a pair of sneakers, valued at $30,000 and a gas cylinder.

Crossman pleaded not guilty to both charges after they were read to him in a Georgetown court.
