He gains access to rooms after the victims have checked out and calls the front desk, saying he would like to extend his stay. He also requests a room upgrade. He then proceeds to charge expensive bottles of wine, rare bottles of scotch, spa items, and miscellaneous gift items to the previous guests’ rooms.
Detectives say the man was in the Naples area around Sept. 20 through Sept. 26. During that time he is believed to have charged thousands of dollars to several high-end hotels.
