Courts officially identify ring leader as Rachel Lee, a 19-year-old woman from Las Vegas, the Associated Press reports.
Millions of dollars worth of items from the homes of celebrities including Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Orlando Bloom were stolen in a string of Hollywood Hills burglaries.
Warrant records show Las Vegas police seized photos of Paris Hilton, designer jeans, computers, a Korean passport and 204 $100 bills when they arrested Lee at a northwest Las Vegas home on Oct. 22. Also taken in were Courtney Ames, Alexis Neiers, Diana Tamayo, and Roy Lopez, Jr.
Also a suspect, Jonathan Ajar, known as "Johnny Dangerous," surrendered himself to police in Hollywood yesterday.
Prosecutors charged him with 10 drug and gun offences after searching his home last month. He has not been charged with any of the break-ins at celebrities' homes,.
The group was alleged to have stolen $3 million (£1.8 million) worth of property in at least 10 burglaries.
Other alleged victims included Audrina Patridge, and Ashley Tisdale.
Rachel Lee and Diana Tamayo were convicted of misdemeanor shoplifting on August 20, 2009 for stealing products from Sephora in Los Angeles. They were let go with only fines and probation.
Criminal Charges have not yet been filed against Lee.
