Nicholas Frank Prugo
Nicholas Frank Prugo, a suspected member of the ‘bling-ring,’ was arrested in conjunction with the Lohan & Patridge robberies.
He did not initially cooperate with authorities but on Oct. 6, Prugo, and his attorney, Sean Erenstoft, met with LAPD detectives to “return some stolen items and report information.”
Court records show that Prugo gave police a statement implicating several others in the thefts including Jonathan Ajar, Courtney Ames, Alexis Neiers, Diana Tamayo and a man Prugo can only identify as ‘Roy’. According to the court document, the crew removed cash, narcotics and thousands of dollars worth of jewelry.
Rachel Lee
Prugo & additional suspected ‘bling-ring’ member Rachel Lee were arrested after an unidentified tipster told Los Angeles Police Department detectives the pair were responsible for a robbery at Lohan’s Hollywood Hills in early 2009.
Prugo told detectives the doors to the celebrities’ homes were unlocked, with the exception Hilton & Lohan. The ring used TMZ.com and other websites determine travel itineraries & find the celebrities’ homes. He claims 19-year-old Rachel Lee led the ‘bling-ring.’
A search of Lee’s home in Las Vegas where she lives with her father turned up items from Hilton, Lohan and Patridge, including three personal photos of Hilton, two pairs of jeans and a white hat, according to a search warrant. A search of the Las Vegas home Lee shared with her father turned up a piece of paper with the names of her accomplices. Las Vegas Detective Ethan Grimes confirmed those people were the other subjects identified in the crime ring.
Police also found three computers, a Korean passport, 204 $100 bills and less than one ounce of marijuana when they arrested Lee at the home in northwest Las Vegas on Oct. 22, according to the warrants.
