A local accountant has been accused for a third time of stealing from a client, police said.
New Milford (Connecticut) police said Monday that Carl Benjamin Anderson was arrested March 12 and charged with third-degree larceny.
Police said Anderson was found stealing from a local small business owner who hired him to perform bookkeeping services.
This is the third time in recent months Anderson has been charged with similar crimes.
In late December, police said Anderson was charged with first-degree larceny after stealing $25,000 from one of his clients.
On Jan. 25, police said Anderson was arrested again for stealing $20,000 from a different client.
Police said Anderson was released after posting a $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear May 16 in state Superior Court in Litchfield.
Investigators are still in the process of speaking with other potential victims, police said.
