RALEIGH, N.C. — Authorities believe that a Raleigh man stole nearly $30,000 worth of property this past fall in a string of home break-ins stretching from western north Raleigh to southeastern Wake County, according to arrest warrants.

Warrants state that Darnell William King, 28, of 3137 Rendevous Drive, broke into nine homes and tried to break into a tenth from Sept. 24 to Nov. 19.

The break-ins occurred on Broken Branch Court, Anne Avenue and Tanglewood Drive, which are off Poole Road; Spring Drive, which is near Glenwood Avenue in north Raleigh; and Huntleigh, Saratoga and Brinkley drives, which are off Capital Boulevard, just north of the Beltline.
