LINDSAY LOHAN has set up home in a tightly secured apartment complex in West Hollywood after fleeing the property which was ransacked by burglars in August (09). The Mean Girls star was left distraught when thieves broke into her house in the Hollywood Hills and made off with designer gear, cash and jewellery.

Los Angeles police have since linked the break-in to that of reality TV star Audrina Patridge, whose home was targeted in a similar heist in February (09), and have so far arrested six people in connection to the crimes.

But Lohan was left so spooked by the intrusion, she moved out of the property and has been taking refuge in a new apartment. A source tells the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six, “Lindsay moved in at 3am a few weeks ago to give the paparazzi and any other prospective burglars the slip.”
