Teens Behind Lohan, Hilton Celebrity Robberies Scoured TMZ

By , About.com GuideNovember 10, 2009

Follow me on:

The plot thickens as more information is revealed about the teens who robbed such celebrities as Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. The 'gang' was led by 18-year-old Nicholas "Nick" Prugo and 19-year-old Rachel Jungeon Lee. The crime of the century? Nah. These bling bandits were apparently just after designer clothing (and drugs) belonging to their favorite celebs.

If the story couldn't get any more shallow or gross, TMZ is now reporting that the teen robbers used their gossip site to figure out where celebrities lived. You would think that that might make you rethink the contents of your website but, it's TMZ after all...

As the story goes, most of the stars didn't even bother to lock their doors, giving the young criminals easy access. This totally reminds me of an 'open house' I shared with roommates in Beachwood Canyon. It ultimately got robbed as well. The celebrity thieves' next victim was apparently going to be--gasp--none other than Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) of The Princess Bride.

It appears Prugo may have also been pursuing a (child) acting career based on this IMDB page. Looks like TMZ and other tabloids are prepared to give him that with all the continued coverage.
