Lindsay Lohan has now been formally named as a suspect in the curious case of a jewellery heist, it has been reported.
It was previously believed the actress may have let thieves into a Hollywood Hills home where she partied over the weekend.
However allegations are now emerging that the 26-year-old and her assistant Gavin Doyle have both been named as suspects in the theft.
Police were called to the multimillion dollar residence last Monday and apparently questioned the star after jewellery worth an alleged $100,000 was reported missing.
The owner of the house two days ago recanted his story that two men Lohan brought with her stole several expensive watches.
However TMZ now claims that law enforcement sources say the investigation has not been closed because independent witnesses allegedly are pointing to Lohan and Doyle as the thieves.
The website reports that detectives attempted to contact Lohan’s lawyer today for an interview but the request was apparently rejected.
It comes just days after TMZ reported that Lilo’s father, Michael Lohan talked directly with the owner of the house who made the initial accusations.
‘After personally speaking with the homeowner, there was NOTHING stolen from his home,’ Michael told the website.
‘Lindsay has no involvement and the owner has told the cops that.’
The owner of the home had invited the actress to the all-night house party.
She is believed to have arrived with her brother Coy, her assistant and two unnamed gentleman.
The star was said to have left the residence at approximately noon on Monday after police questioning and had been ‘very cooperative’ with law enforcement officers.
The actress was famously charged with shoplifting a necklace from a Venice jewellery store in February last year.
She was charged with misdemeanour theft and probation violation, and was sentenced to 120 days in jail and 480 hours of community service.
If Lohan violates the terms of her probation she could face jail time.
Lohan’s representative declined to comment when contacted by Mail Online.
