Nick Prugo & Lindsay Lohan
Police have arrested six people, mostly teens, on suspicion of breaking into the homes of Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, Lindsay Lohan and other Hollywood figures to satisfy a celebrity obsession and steal from them, authorities said on Tuesday.
“They were rabid consumers of everything celebrity,” Los Angeles police officer Brett Goodkin told Reuters.
He added that the suspects were motivated by “profit and celebrity worship.”
Nicholas Prugo, 18, was charged last week with burglary at the homes of “Mean Girls” actress Lindsay Lohan and reality star Audrina Patridge of MTV show “The Hills.”
Police investigating the break-ins later arrested Rachel Lee, 18; Courtney Ames, 18; Alexis Neiers, 18; Diana Tamayo, 19; and Roy Lopez Jr, 27 on suspicion of burglary.
Prugo is accused of stealing more than $170,000 in jewelry and clothes and faces up to six years in prison if convicted. The others have not yet been formally charged.
