Unreleased Beyoncé songs saved on hard drives were stolen from her choreographer’s rental car just before the start of four concert dates in Atlanta.
The theft occurred earlier this month at the city’s Krog Street Market, a popular tourist and dining destination.
In addition to the music, set lists and footage plans for the Grammy-winning singer’s “Cowboy Carter” shows were stolen, along with suitcases, laptop computers, Apple headphones, luxury clothing items, and accessories, NBC News reported on Monday, July 14.
The crime unfolded on July 8. That’s when choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue parked and went into the market around 8:10 p.m.
They returned an hour later, and found the back window of their Jeep Wagoneer was damaged and both of their suitcases had been taken.
“Someone broke into my car,” a caller told an Atlanta police dispatcher in a 911 recording obtained by TMZ. “They stole my computers and everything. But it has a tracker on it, so I can see where it is… it’s really, really important information. Like I work with someone who’s of a high status and I really need my computer at this time.”
A police report was filed, and the two gave officers a detailed description of the stolen items.
Officers found fingerprints on the car and obtained footage from nearby security cameras to assist with the investigation. Police said a warrant has been issued for a suspect, but they have not yet released a name. It’s unclear if the music was recovered.
Reps for Beyoncé did not respond to a request for comment. The singer’s “Cowboy Carter” tour began in April and will conclude in Las Vegas on July 26.
