Beyoncé’s unreleased music and other items were stolen from a car rented by her choreographer in Atlanta, according to CNN. The star was in the city on a Cowboy Carter tour stop; she performed July 10, 11 and 13 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Reports indicate that officers responded on July 8 "regarding a report of a theft from a motor vehicle."
A preliminary investigation revealed that two suitcases belonging to Beyoncé's choreographer, Christopher Grant, and one of her backup dancers, Diandre Blue, had been stolen out of the rental while it was parked on the first level of a parking deck at 99 Krog St. NE.
"Preliminary investigation revealed a Jeep Wagoneer was broken into at the location and two suitcases had been stolen," an Atlanta police statement read. "Investigators with the Atlanta Police Department’s Larceny from Auto Unit led the investigation and have subsequently secured an arrest warrant for a suspect."
Among the stolen items were two laptops and hard drives that contained watermarked music, unreleased music, footage plans and past and future set lists. Grant also reported that $1,000 worth of clothing, a pair of Tom Ford sunglasses valued at $500 and a Tumi book bag valued at $750 were also stolen from the vehicle, per the report. Blue also reported a Macbook Air and a pair of headphones were stolen.
Officers discovered the laptop’s ping location and sent units to canvas the area; they shared that a "suspicious person stop" was conducted. They also said the theft was caught on camera and they dusted "two very light" fingerprints.
Beyoncé wraps up her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour in Las Vegas on July 25 and 26.
