A contractor from Milford is accused of taking more than $100,000 to do a custom cabinetry job in a home and then reportedly didn't do the work for over a year.
Police said 53-year-old Scott Furtado, of Milford, owns Custom Stiles Woodworking, LLC. and was hired by residents in Orange to complete a kitchen and other custom cabinetry in the home they were building.
Investigators said Furtado received payments of over $100,000 and did not do any contracted work for over a year.
According to authorities, Furtado failed to fulfill the contract and could not refund the money he had been paid.
