Arrest Made in Lindsay Lohan Burglary

September 18, 2009

Los Angeles police have made an arrest in connection to the break-ins at the homes of Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge, reports People. Nicholas Prugo, 18, was nabbed by the coppers yesterday morning and charged with felony burglary; he’s currently being held on $20,000 US bail.

"Yes, we have found [him], God is good," Dina Lohan told People.

(Of course, since this is Hollywood, it's only a matter of time before a hip high school teacher takes Prugo under his wing and shows him the value of a life off the streets.)

LiLo's home on the Hollywood Hills was broken into last month by a man and a woman, with the culprits stealing bags, shoes, jewelry and ripping a safe out of the wall. The couple reportedly also broke into Patridge's Los Angeles house in February, taking several of her possessions.

LAPD officers have yet to find the woman associated with the crimes, though they did confirm Prugo's arrest.

"As of now we just have this one person in custody, and the investigation is ongoing," said LAPD spokeswoman Karen Rayner.

Although Prugo was only arrested in connection to those two burglaries, he's suspected of being one of the most prolific celebrity burglars in recent history. In addition to Lohan and Patridge, other celebs who have been targeted this year include Paris Hilton, Hayden Panettiere and Rachel Bilson.
