Lindsay Lohan’s burglars now playing blame game

Published on October 28, 2009 at 3:21 PM

Facing years behind bars, the teenagers who allegedly burgled the homes of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and others are now facing two problems — Hard prison life and hot movie offers.

The four teens, who all hail from the affluent hillsides of Calabasas, California,  stand accused of stealing millions of dollars in jewelry and cash from celebrities houses, and sources say the four are throwing each other under a fleet of school buses to try and duck blame.

First to be arrested was Nicholas Prugo. Caught on camera as he robbed Lohan’s home, the 18-year old’s arrest then triggered the others, and his ex-friends are claiming the whole thing’s his fault. Courtney Aimes, one of his fellow accused, is even quoted as saying she “wants to kill the kid. Everyone’s mad at Nick!”

That “Everyone” would be her fellow suspects, Alexis Neiers, Roy Lopez, Rachel Lee and Diana Tamayo.

The group, who are also suspected of robbing the homes of Orlando Bloom, Rachel Bilson [The O.C.] and ‘Heroes’ actress, Hayden Panettiere – are all out on bail and awaiting a date for their trial.

And this is not even the gang’s first brush with the law – Prugo has been arrested for drug use, and was loose on probation when he robbed the first home. Lee and Tamayo were also arrested last Summer for stealing $85 of cosmetics from a store in L.A.

Prugo is described by former friends as ‘quiet and reserved.’ Aimes, on the other hand is a spoiled, brattish tomboy whose “daddy bought her everything,” say her now ex-friends.

But if Aimes was the brat, Rachel Lee was the ‘brains.’ The self-styled ‘Mean Girl’ is being blamed by the others for planning the whole spree, “Rachel was the nucleus,” one source told Daily Beast. And they may be right — once the feds got too close, Lee ran and hid in Las Vegas — where she was promptly arrested and dragged home in cuffs.

Meanwhile, Nick and Rachel are both eager to unload the blame, while Alexis is busily feeding the press, “I know for a fact Nick did all the burglaries. He told me this. He’s just trying to get the blame off himself.” she told TMZ.

Nick’s lawyer, however, says such claims of innocence are laughably false, “Nick is satisfied that the principal players in this matter have been identified,” said Sean Erenstoft. “They’re just trying to throw blame…That’s what kids do.”

And as the story contiues, the movie offers roll in…
