Overview

  • Hard drives containing watermarked and unreleased tracks, show footage plans and set lists were stolen from a rental Jeep used by choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue during a July 8 break-in
  • Investigators pinged stolen AirPods and a laptop through Apple’s Find My service, lifted light fingerprints from the vehicle and reviewed parking garage surveillance footage to develop leads
  • On July 14, the Atlanta Police Department obtained a warrant for an unnamed suspect in the theft of the creative assets
  • No arrests have been made and authorities have not reported recovery of any stolen materials, raising concerns over potential leaks
  • Beyoncé’s team has declined to comment and her four-night residency at Mercedes-Benz Stadium proceeded as scheduled
