Milford police say the 17-year-old was arrested last week and charged with 26 counts of theft under $1,500 from a victim 62 or older, 26 counts of second-degree forgery and one count of committing a crime against a vulnerable adult.
Police say the 17-year-old, starting in January, stole money from a 74-year-old.
The teenager is scheduled to appear in both Kent County and Sussex County family courts. Total bond between the two courts has been set at $23,400.
