BURLINGTON, MA — A Barre man has been indicted on charges of accused of stealing over $450,000 of medical and office equipment from his Burlington-based employer last December.

A Middlesex county grand jury on May 11 indicted Geoffrey James, 52,of Barre, on charges of larceny over $250 (three counts) and receiving stolen property (three counts). No arraignment date has been scheduled as yet in superior court.
