A fourth teen suspect in the rash of celebrity home break-ins in the Hollywood Hills area over the past eight months has been arrested by Las Vegas police, authorities told RadarOnline.com Friday.
Rachel Lee, 19, currently in the custody of the Las Vegas Police Department, is the latest suspect nabbed in a series of arrests tied to high-profile burglaries at the homes of Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge, and other Tinseltown stars; she is also under investigation in connection with $2 million in jewelry heisted from Paris Hilton.
LAPD Hollywood Division detectives told RadarOnline.com that they arrested 18-year-old Alexis Neirs in connection with the thefts.
Another key figure involved in the alleged capers is Nick Prugo, an 18-year-old man who was arrested Sept. 17 on double felony burglary charges for a pair of celeb-related thefts; one is said to be an Aug. 23 incident in which Lohan's Hollywood Hills bungalow was pilfered of more than $128,000 in jewelry and designer clothes. Prugo, according to prosecutors, was caught on tape twice committing said crimes, both times accompanied by at least one female accomplice. He remains free on $100,000 bail and faces up to six years in state prison if convicted; he is slated to appear in court Nov. 11.
A source within the LAPD told RadarOnline.com that "the rash of burglary cases of celebrity homes is now closed."
