MARQUETTE, MI--   A Gwinn man has been charged with breaking into a Marquette home and stealing cash. 

The Marquette Police Department says on July 25 Robert Wallace Oakland, 25, entered the residence, broke into a safe, and more than $10,000 in cash. 

Officers contacted Forsyth Township Police, who allegedly found a large portion of the stolen money at Oakland’s home. 

Oakland is charged with second-degree home invasion and safe breaking. He remains lodged at the Marquette County Jail on a $50,000 bond. 

A preliminary hearing is set for August 18.
