Celeb-Obsessed Gang Robs from Stars
Police retrieved up to $2 million in Paris Hilton's stolen jewels.
Paris Hilton has reportedly recouped approximately $2 million worth of stolen jewelry from police Friday night, after police arrested 19-year-old Rachel J. Lee, who is suspected to be the ringleader of a celebrity-obsessed gang of teenagers who robs from the stars. The suspected burglars have also allegedly broken into the homes of Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Patridge, and Orlando Bloom. Lee is reportedly obsessed with celebrity fashion. Lee’s suspected co-burglars include Courtney Ames, 18, Diana Tamayo, 19, Alexis Neirs, 18, Roy Lopez, 27, and Nicholos Prugo, 18. Lee, Prugo, Ames, and Neirs have all been arrested, and the latter two were released after posting $50,000 in bail. "Paris went to the police station last night to retrieve her stolen belongings," Hilton’s publicist Dawn Miller told People. "She didn't get everything but fortunately most of her jewelry was returned. She is really pleased and thankful to the LAPD for their help." Rachel Bilson, Hayden Panettiere, and Kourtney Kardashian have also been the targets of recent burglaries, though it's unclear if those incidents are related.
