A Keizer man has been charged with multiple crimes after police said they discovered meth, firearms and $10,000-worth of stolen property after executing a search warrant. 

Timothy Vance, 53, faces charges of delivery of meth within 1,000 feet of a school, delivery of meth and possession of a firearm, according to court documents. 

Vance was arrested Feb. 14 by Salem Police, after detectives executed a search warrant at 3725 Pleasant View Dr. NE, following two residential burglary investigations in Lincoln City.

Burglary victims reported identity theft, fraudulent use of a credit card and more than $10,000 worth of property taken.

Lincoln City Police are separately investigating the case where Vance is suspected of the identity theft and fraudulent use of the credit cards, according to a probable cause statement. 

Vance has no charges in Lincoln County at this time, said Det. Charles Lane with Lincoln City Police. 

According to the statement, the ID and credit card were reportedly used to rent a home in Lincoln City and a U-Haul truck with Arizona license plates. 

Police went to Vance's home that he shared with his girlfriend and co-defendant, Charlette Stobbe, of Salem, and saw the couple unloading items from the same U-Haul. 

Police detained Vance and executed a search warrant of his home in Keizer, the U-Haul and his white Mitsubishi convertible.
