Travis Lam, the man connected to what officials call the largest car theft ring in the Valley's history, made an appearance in court Wednesday.
Lam was expected to make a plea in Rockingham County Circuit Court, but after three new indictments were handed up by a grand jury, no plea was made.
Lam remains in police custody and faces more than 45 felony charges in multiple jurisdictions, including breaking and entering and grand larceny.
With shackles around his ankles and dressed in prison garb, Lam appeared next to his attorney, John Hart.
Lam is accused of stealing cars and car parts between September 2007 and May 2008. Police recovered more than $182,000 worth of stolen property that were in his possession.
With these new indictments, the defense asked that the case be continued.
Lam is scheduled to appear in court again May 5. will appear in Circuit Court on May 5, 2009. At that time, all the charges are expected to be addressed one big hearing.

Mr.LaFrance, you and the board members need to get a grip on what you are asking of Page County residents. What are you people thinking? More taxes? It's not enough that residents of Page County are paying for taxes now for that gorgeous hole in the mountain that is called the landfill but you want to raise taxes again for where you are putting the blame for this on the schools. Did you not think about the schools when the county purchased land for seven million dollars several months again? Many people here have no jobs but yet you allow no industrial jobs to come into this county and may God bless the elderly. You and your board members owe the people of this county a break not more taxes! Have you no mercy at all? Evidently not! Hopefully you and the board members will discuss more in detail what you are asking of us and realize how unfair and unwarranted this is.
