Four people from Concord, Rockwell and Richfield have been charged in a burglary ring that targeted at least 15 homes, businesses and construction sites.

During the course of this investigation, detectives recovered approximately $150,000 in stolen property from Rowan and Cabarrus counties and cleared 15 Rowan County break-in or larceny cases.

Rowan County Sheriff’s officials say the Richfield man at the head of the ring brought in more people partly because he could not carry out furniture and large appliances by himself.

Detectives began investigating numerous break-ins in eastern Rowan County during September.

Darrell Wayne Parks, 44, of 6860 River Road, Richfield, was charged more than a week ago with breaking into a couple’s home while they were on their honeymoon.

A relative of the couple went to the Mossy Oak Lane home to find it empty of all furnishings except a sofa and refrigerator.

At Parks’ River Road home, detectives found some of the newlyweds’ property from Mossy Oak Lane, property taken from a construction site in Gold Hill and a utility trailer stolen from Old Beatty Ford Road.

Parks, also known as Darrell Parker, had more charges added against him: felony breaking and entering/larceny, felony larceny and misdemeanor larceny.

Also charged are: 

• Marvin R. Kiser, 103 Sunset Drive, Rockwell: felony breaking and entering/larceny, three counts of felony larceny. He posted $2,500 bond and was released from the Rowan County Detention Center.

• Karie Hinson Kiser, 103 Sunset Drive, Rockwell: two counts of felony breaking and entering/larceny, felony larceny and misdemeanor larceny. She posted $1,000 bond and has been released.

• Carl Felix Kiser III, 37, 912 Bost Wood Lane, Concord: three counts of felony breaking and entering/larceny and felony larceny. Kiser remains in the Detention Center under $20,000.

In several cases, building materials and appliances were stolen from houses under construction.

Detectives discovered Parks was attempting to sell property and a trailer that matched a description of the items stolen.

Detectives also found property linking Parks to more break-ins and thefts in Rowan and Cabarrus counties.

The investigation revealed Parks and Felix and Marvin Kiser often worked together and planned different crimes, including the break-ins and larcenies.

Detectives developed Marvin and Felix Kiser as suspects in these crimes. Investigators discovered stolen property at other locations in Rockwell and Cabarrus County.

Property from the Mossy Oak Lane break-in was located at Marvin Kiser’s residence in Rockwell. Detectives responded to a relative of Kiser on Cold Springs Road in Cabarrus County near Concord and located a new air conditioning unit stolen in April from 110 Aviation Drive, Gold Hill, and a utility trailer from Bost’s Graphics located at 8225 U.S. 52 in Rockwell.

The trailer was stolen the night of Sept. 16 at the same time a motor scooter was stolen from a residence next door to Bost’s Graphics. The scooter was recovered at Parks’ River Road home.

The Sheriff’s Office still has two chainsaws, two battery-powered power tools and a car stereo that have not been connected to a case but are believed to be stolen.

Any information on this case or property can be given to Detective Sgt. C.A. Moose at the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, 704-216-8687, or Crime Stoppers, 1-866-639-5245.
