Jewellery worth a million dollars was stolen from Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan at Heathrow Airport, it was revealed today.
Lohan reported the theft to police yesterday evening after noticing her orange Hermes handbag had disappeared from her luggage trolley as she left Terminal One.
Earlier this week the Mean Girls actress sparked an engagement riddle by wearing an enormous solitaire diamond on her ring finger at the premiere of her new film, Bobby.
Her spokeswoman, Leslie Sloane, told TMZ.com the 20 year old was extremely upset about losing her personal belongings in the bag, which included her vital asthma medication.
"She is begging for the return of the items," Ms Sloane said. "She doesn't care how she gets them back, she just wants her stuff back."
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said there was no description of any suspect or suspects. CID at Heathrow would be investigating, she added.
The spokeswoman said: "At approximately 6.45pm on September 7 the theft of a bag at Heathrow Airport was reported to police by a 20-year-old woman.
"It is alleged that as the woman exited the Terminal One building she noticed that an orange Hermes handbag was missing from her suitcase trolley.
"We understand the bag contained a quantity of jewellery."
Lohan took to the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival on Tuesday with an impressive sparkler on her ring finger.
But earlier in the day she had worn what appeared to be the same ring on her middle finger.
Her boyfriend Harry Morton was spotted shopping in Cartier last week and the couple enjoyed a romantic break in Hawaii before jetting into Venice.
Ms Sloane later confirmed that Lohan's stolen bag had contained jewellery worth a million dollars (£530,000).
