Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Orlando Bloom were among the alleged victims of the 18 and 19-year-olds. Millions of pounds of jewellery and designer clothes, plus partially-nude photos connected to Hilton, were stolen.

The teens - three of them still at school - are said to have worked out when the homes would be empty by tracking the stars' public appearances on the internet. They were nabbed in a police sting following the year-long crime spree in Los Angeles.  Nicholas Prugo, 18, said to be a ringleader, has been bailed with five others.
