The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office and Kannapolis Police Department have charged a Kannapolis couple with taking and trying to cash checks made out to numerous churches and a preschool.

The cases against the couple go back to March 15. Nicusor Diamant, 41, was placed in the Rowan County Detention Center under $515,000 bond Friday. Authorities set the bond for Mariana Firu, 32, at $525,000.

The couple each face charges of larceny, obtaining property by false pretenses, identity theft and possession of stolen goods.

The charges stem from checks written by various parties to Genesis Baptist Church, Sharon Baptist Church, Good Shepherd Preschool, Catawba Baptist Church and Church of Christ that ended up in the couple’s possession, authorities said.

The couple allegedly also tried to deposit checks not belonging to them at a Wells Fargo Bank in Kannapolis.

In another report, the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office charged Teri Lynn Covello, 34, with first-degree burglary and larceny after breaking and entering early Saturday morning.

She is accused of breaking into a home in the 6000 block of Old Concord Road between midnight and 1 a.m. Saturday. The home was occupied at the time by a couple and their four children, reports said.

Covello is accused of taking electronics and household items valued at roughly $700. Authorities set her bond at $50,000.
