Paris Hilton’s suspected burglar arrested
Barely a month after Paris Hilton’s home got ransacked and been robbed with over $2 million worth of jewels, recent updates have it that the police have already arrested a man they suspect as the mastermind for the larceny.
45-year-old Troy Thomas, also called as the Bel-Air Burglar is accused to be the mastermind behind more than 150 thefts in Los Angeles in three years. He is also said to be one of the two leaders of a gang that targets high-profile celebrities.
Aside from Paris, their victims were said to include Duran Duran guitarist John Taylor, cosmetics company Max Factor heir Davis Factor.
Thomas was arrested on Saturday at an airport car rental shop, according to thaindian.com. Police obtained a sample of Thomas’ DNA and matched it to the evidence at a crime scene. But (of course) he denies all the charges claiming he is 100% innocent.
But is he really the man?
Unfortunately, LAPD Special Burglary Unit say Thomas is not a suspect and the burglar is still on the loose. So I guess they’re back zero again.
In an interview with Life & Style last month, Paris shared how she felt about the incident. She said, “I am devastated. I cannot believe someone broke into my home. They took items that had such sentimental value that no one will ever be able to replace.”
Both Paris and the police believe that the burglar may be someone that Paris knows and is familiar with the place.
Well I hope that’s enough clue to catch the burglar…
