Unreleased Beyoncé music, future set lists, and other sensitive information were stolen from a rented vehicle during the singer's stop in Atlanta for her Cowboy Carter tour.

According to WSB, Christopher Grant, Bey's choreographer, and Diandre Blue, one of her dancers, told police that thieves broke into their rental vehicle, stealing several items, including jump drives with unreleased music, footage plans for her show, and past and future set lists.

The incident unfolded inside a parking deck at Krog Street Market at roughly 8:09 p.m. on Tuesday (July 8), days before Beyoncé kicked off her Cowboy Carter shows in Atlanta. Grant and Blue told police that upon returning to their vehicle, they discovered someone had broken in through the back lift gate and taken their two suitcases.

“Mr. Grant advised he was also carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé,” an officer wrote in the incident report. “He advised he was her choreographer and Mr. Diandre Blue was a dancer for her, and that her hard drives for her upcoming show in Atlanta were stolen also. The hard drives contained watermarked music, some un-released music, footage plans for the show, and past and future set lists."

Clothes, designer sunglasses, laptops, and a pair of AirPods Max headphones were also stolen from the vehicle, according to police. Authorities said they used Apple's "Find My" feature to track down the headphones.

“I conducted a suspicious stop in the area, due to the information that was relayed to me,” an officer wrote in the report. “There were several cars in the area also that the AirPods were pinging to in that area also. After further investigation, a silver (redacted), which had traveled into zone 5 was moving at the same time as the tracking on the AirPods.”

Surveillance cameras also captured the break-in. An arrest warrant was issued for a suspect, but they haven't been publicly named, and charges haven't been announced.
