Six indicted by grand jury

Bedford County's grand jury indicted only six people for its October session, including more charges for a man accused of stealing items and selling them on the Internet.

Troy James Neal was indicted on two counts of theft over $500, one count of theft under $500 and a single count of theft between $1,000 and $10,000.

Neal was already indicted on charges of theft of property over $1,000 in August and has a court date on those charges on Nov. 5.

Neal and his wife Kerri are accused of lifting thousands of dollars worth of weight loss and make-up items from the shelves of area Walmarts and selling them on the popular Internet auction site eBay.

Kerri faces related charges in other counties as well.
