An Indio man has been arrested on multiple counts of burglary, possession of stolen property and credit card fraud. The charges came after police found stolen property from an Indian Wells hotel at the suspect’s home.

Victor Zamarripa, 38, was booked into the Riverside County Jail in Indio on Monday afternoon.

Police said the crimes happened in multiple hotel rooms from December, 28, to January, 10.
