4/11/13 - A Highland Township man charged in connection with a series of vehicle larcenies and breaking and entering incidents has been bound over to circuit court on three of the four local cases against him. 18-year-old Ross Dimercurio is charged locally with 2nd degree home invasion and two counts each of breaking and entering and larceny from a motor vehicle for several incidents in January. Those charges were divided among four different cases in Livingston County District Court, and three of those cases were bound over to circuit court last week for trial. All three are scheduled for a pretrial hearing on April 26th and have a trial date of May 20th. The fourth case is scheduled for a status conference and jury selection in district court on May 2nd. Meanwhile, Dimercurio faces eleven different charges in Oakland County, including felony firearms. His co-defendant there, 18-year-old Devin Newell of Milford, will be sentenced later this month after pleading guilty to nine charges including breaking and entering and larceny. Police say the pair targeted unlocked vehicles in residential areas in Brighton and Hartland Townships during the late night and early morning hours. They were eventually busted by police at a local pawn store and found to be in possession of the majority of stolen property as well as large amount of stolen prescription pills. (TD)
