A man has been arrested for allegedly stealing hard drives containing unreleased music by Beyoncé during her Cowboy Carter tour earlier this summer.
Kelvin Evans was arrested and taken into custody on a charge of entering an automobile with intent to commit theft, Atlanta police said, per CNN.
The incident occurred on July 8, when 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 car was rented by Bey’s team during her Cowboy Carter stop in Atlanta.
“They have my computers, and it’s really, really important information in there,” a caller told 911 in a recording obtained by CNN. “I work with someone who’s like, of a high status, and I really need the, um, my computer and everything.”
Clothes, designer sunglasses, laptops, and a pair of AirPods Max headphones were also reportedly stolen from the vehicle. Authorities previously 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.”
As of now, investigators have not recovered the missing hard drives. An investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
