Court records identify a 19-year-old Las Vegas woman as the leader of a burglary ring suspected of a series of break-ins at celebrities' homes in Los Angeles.
Search warrant records obtained Friday in Las Vegas show that police seized photos of Paris Hilton, designer jeans, computers, a Korean passport and 204 $100 bills when they arrested Rachel Lee at a northwest Las Vegas home Oct. 22.
Records show Lee was released the same day after posting $3,000 bail. Criminal charges have not been filed. It was not immediately clear if she was represented by a lawyer.
Las Vegas police told a judge that Lee was the mastermind of a ring accused of burglarizing the Hollywood Hills homes of celebrities including Audrina Partridge, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom and the Hilton family.

"204 $100 bills" and a "$3,000 bail"? That's like having to pay for a bus fare to get out of jail.
The landscape of the Las Vegas community has really changed...sad commentary. Our officials ought to worry about the amount of crime in our communities...we ought to have Border Patrol on Nevada's borders stopping the 'bad' people from moving into our State.
Who doesn't have photos of Paris Hilton around?
limp-wristed liberals have created our crime problem. there is no longer a deterrent for crime.
"...Las Vegas police told a judge that Lee was the mastermind of a ring accused of burglarizing the Hollywood Hills homes of celebrities including Audrina Partridge, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom and the Hilton family...."
Don't these millionarie/billionaire people have security systems...?
Rachel Lee must have been operating some type of "special service" to get into these celeb's houses.
And just where did all those 100's come from?
(What's that you say, hundred bucks a WhAt...?)
