A key member of the so-called “bling ring” burglary ring accused of breaking into celebrity homes and making off with $3 million in jewels, art and watches was sentenced to four years in prison Tuesday for a burglary at reality star Audrina Patridge’s house.

Rachel Lee, 21, last month pleaded no contest to one count of first-degree residential burglary.

The crew is accused of stealing more than $3 million in jewelry, designer clothes and accessories from the homes of Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton and others.
