Items stolen from Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan found at Las Vegas home, police say

A police search of a Las Vegas home occupied by a young woman arrested in connection with the so-called Bling Ring that burglarized young Hollywood celebrities turned up items belonging to Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge and Lindsay Lohan, according to law enforcement sources and a copy of a search warrant obtained by The Times.

According to the search warrant, Los Angeles Police Department officers accompanied by Las Vegas Metro Police officers recovered three personal photos of Hilton, two pair of jeans and a white hat.

Investigators also seized two computers, marijuana, a Korean passport and more than $20,000 in cash. Authorities arrested Rachel Lee, 19, during the Oct. 22 search, but Lee has not been charged with any of the burglaries.

Law enforcement sources say the items retrieved from the four-bedroom home belong to Hilton, Patridge and Lohan.

Six other people, predominately young women who formerly attended an Agoura Hills High School, have been charged in connection with the burglary spree that netted more than $3 million in designer clothing, accessories and jewelry between last December and October.

The items police were searching for reveals the array of loot the bling ring stole during its burglaries. The items include "hats, purses, designer bags and/or luggage, watches silver and/or gold jewelry, sunglasses, coats, clothing, scarves, personal computers, laptop computers, gloves, photos, cameras, rugs, paintings and Hilton family heirlooms."

Investigators were also searching maps, photos and other information related to the celebrities' home addresses and any electronic communications "boasting about the burglaries," according to the warrant.

The warrant was one of six served by the police. More than $2 million in merchandise has been recovered by LAPD Hollywood Division detectives who have tied the bling ring to 10 burglaries.

Much of it was turned over after the arrests last month and searches of the homes of Jonathan Ajar, Diana Tamayo, Courtney Ames, Alexis Neiers and Roy Lopez Jr. They were charged last week with residential burglary and other felonies in connection with the burglaries.

Detectives also last week seized a home computer, several rings, a necklace and a black leather Marc Jacobs purse at the Thousand Oaks home of Neiers, an 18-year-old aspiring model whose family was the subject of a reality television show for the E! network.

Other alleged members of the ring include Nicholas Frank Prugo, 18, who has already has been charged in connection with eight burglaries. His attorney has said he played "a limited role" in the alleged crimes.

I hope parents of teens today read this article. I am a parent of a nineteen year old and she has had many items stolen from her. I encouraged to stop and check out the crowd you are out with. Are they trust worthy? Are they honest? I warned her because she had 3 camera's stolen, a lot of money stolen(sometimes, her whole paycheck), apple lap top, the list goes on... 18-24yrs old are all getting marijuana licenses and this is the outcome.WAKE UP PARENTS! WE NEED TO TALK TO OTHER PARENTS AND STAY OUT OF THE DARK. TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE ASHAMED TO TALK.

How long until the TV movie? Months? Weeks? Days? Let's start the title contest now. "Stealing Stars"? "Lightening LiLo"?

Listen you stop blaming weed! Your daughter is just that. They are young women that are quite simply too trusting and stupid. Have a son you will have another perspective. Just FYI you probabbly are a mother, taught your daughter every thing she knows. Have her father talk to her, GROW up!!!!

[WTF???!!!!]

".. 18-24yrs old are all getting marijuana licenses and this is the outcome"

MMj recommendations are not the cause of this ,The Teens being Materialistic and living in a society of Money, Designer Clothes and Cribs is the fuel for this Crime. Don't blame it on the weed

"18-24yrs old are all getting marijuana licenses and this is the outcome"

You warned her but she still got jacked... but telling parents to watch who they hang out with??? I'll stick to my medical buds and you stick to the booze..cause im sure I make more sense than that.
It's called YOU... NOT medical marijuana. 19 and still blind??? because THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE. Personal Resposibility. Take a Dose! Stop blaming it on the Mary Jane and self reflect for a moment!

Weed is not a drug you steal and kill for. Crack, Speed, Heroin are mainly the drugs you lie steal and kill for. You bringing weed into the picture shows how much you truely don't know about kids nowadays. I'm 24. I know what's going on with kids my age. And as stated before, it is the materialistic, self-centered, naive, self-entitled kids who commit such acts and have it committed against them. Blaming weed is like blaming the car instead of the bank robber. Use some common sense, or as I like to say uncommon sense, because it seems as if no one has it anymore.

So sad that she is always getting ripped off. Too bad they stole her CLUE a decade ago

Marijuana has nothing to do with this. What is that comment about?

I smoke every day, make a six figure salary, donate monthly donations to charity, vote in every election, have a bachelors degree from a UC school and I do not steal. EVER.

Man...talk about being stuck in the 1930s!!!! Marijuana is to blame for everything?!?!?!?

I have known plenty of people who smoked pot and were absolutely not thieves. These kids are greedy, unethical and feel entitled to the good life and nice things they see on tv and the internet. This generation does not have a strong sense of right and wrong. They certainly don't think she should have to work for the things you want.

Do you think if our apartments or homes got broken into and the computer and Ipod and maybe television were stolen and some jewelry that police would launch a massive investigation into the theft and not rest until the items were found and even go out of state to places like, say, Nevada, to search for our stuff?

We need to bring back discipline, back in the days parents would spank their kids in public and teachers would paddle students. Kids these days are running free and wild and must be restrained. How can we teach with our hands tied behind our backs?
