Lindsay Lohan is caught on store surveillance video wearing the $2,500 necklace she is accused of stealing, according to a law enforcement source who has intimate knowledge the case.

"The surveillance video clearly shows Lindsay Lohan taking the necklace from the store,” the insider told Breaking Celebrity News exclusively.

“Law enforcement believe the video will prove that the actress took the necklace, because it doesn’t, any any point, show her paying for the item.

“It's the strongest evidence authorities have against the actress... if the video didn't exist, she wouldn't be in this precarious situation.”

The cost of the necklace would make the alleged crime a felony — grand theft — because the item in question is valued at over $900.

As we first reported, the Lohan patriarch leapt to the defense of his daughter, denying any wrong doing on her behalf
