A friend of Lindsay Lohan has turned in a piece of stolen jewelry to police detectives in Los Angeles, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
Breaking Celebrity News broke the world exclusive story late Tuesday that police requested a search warrant after suspecting Lindsay had stolen the one-of-a-kind necklace worth $2,500 from a store in Venice Beach, where she now lives following her release from rehab.
The unnamed friend surrendered the jewelry to authorities in the Pacific Division of the LAPD Tuesday night.
LAPD Pacfic Division Lt. Jeff Bert tells Breaking Celebrity News: "A person claiming to represent Lindsay Lohan turned the necklace into LAPD dectectives at 8:30pm Tuesday night. LAPD began investigating Lohan on January 23rd. The necklace was reportedly stolen from a Venice boutique. If the LA County DA's office files charges it would be grand theft, which is a felony."
Police tell Breaking Celebrity News the necklace is now in a police locker -- classified as evidence. It will ultimately be up to the District Attorney's office whether to pursue any charges in the case.
