Mastermind of Hollywood Celebrity Burglary ‘Bling Ring’ Arrested… and, well, Released

A teenager, suspected of planning and carrying out a string of high-profile burglaries targeting celebrities’ homes, turned herself in Wednesday, and was charged with five felony counts.

Rachel Lee, 19, was charged with three counts of burglary along with two counts of receiving stolen property. Lee’s felony charges have been attributed to burglaries in the homes of the likes of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge. However, Lee was released shortly after posting a $150,000 bail according to jail records.

Lee is believed to have been the mastermind, along with 18-year-old Nicholas Prugo, behind several burglaries in celebrity homes. Lee is counted as the sixth person charged with burglary and the seventh arrested in connection to the celebrity burglaries.

Prugo, who was arrested in September, shared with police that it was Lee who picked which homes to hit, and would later then research where and when they should do the deed.

“You’re already here,” said Lee to Prugo during the Lohan heist, according to Prugo’s statement. “You might as well come inside and get something for yourself.”
