The report read: "Preliminary investigation revealed a Jeep Wagoneer was broken into at the location and two suitcases had been stolen. Investigators with the Atlanta Police Department’s Larceny from Auto Unit led the investigation and have subsequently secured an arrest warrant for a suspect."
According to a police incident report, choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue told officers they had parked the rented black Jeep Wagoneer before stepping into a nearby food hall. When they returned, they discovered the vehicle’s rear window shattered and two suitcases missing.
The pair informed the police they were "carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé" in the vehicle that included "five jump drives containing watermarked music, unreleased music, footage plans for shows past and future, and set list".
They said: "[Someone] broke in through the back lift gate and robbed their rental black Jeep Wagoneer while it was stationed in a parking deck around 8:09 p.m."
