A 52-year-old man appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Saturday, 3 April, in connection with the incidents.
Detective Constable Andrew Forsyth, CID Scottish Borders, said: “This has been an extensive investigation and I am grateful to the members of the public who have assisted with our enquiries to date.
“Reducing acquisitive crime is a local policing priority. These incidents have had a significant impact for local communities.
“If you have any concerns about criminal activity in your community, contact police on 101 or 999 in an emergency.”
