An employee at a Victorville hotel turned herself in today after learning that sheriff's deputies were investigating her for allegedly fraudulently obtaining $848,000 through Orbitz.com.
Ashka Patel, 26, of Apple Valley, surrendered at the Victorville courthouse about 1:30 p.m. She is being held on $300,000 bail on suspicion of theft by fraud.
Representatives from Orbitz.com, which is a popular Web site offering airfare, rental cars and hotel stays, contacted the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department in mid-November to alert them of the fraud.
Deputies obtained search warrants and say they tracked the purchases to Patel, who was in charge of financial transactions at the Travel Inn in the 14900 block of Seventh Street. The money was obtained between February and November.
About $700,000 was found in various bank accounts tied to the Travel Inn and deputies are holding the funds until the court decides who it belongs to. Details of the fraud were not disclosed.
