Beyoncé’s team may be close to recovering a major stash of stolen material, including unreleased music, after a tracking device helped police zero in on the missing items. TMZ obtained the 911 call made on July 8 by one of the singer’s crew members, who told the dispatcher that someone had broken into his rented Jeep. The SUV had been parked inside an Atlanta garage while he was at a nearby restaurant.

According to the caller, several electronics were stolen, including computers containing “really, really important information.” He didn’t mention Beyoncé by name, but told dispatchers he worked for a “high-status” individual. It didn’t take much guessing to figure out who he meant.

Live tracking gives police a lead

According to TMZ, the stolen computers had a tracking device installed. The caller said he could see the electronics moving in real time on his iPhone. The dispatcher assured him officers would be sent to the location, and the call ended shortly after.

Unreleased music and tour plans among stolen files

Atlanta police responded to the garage later that day. Officers spoke with two members of Beyoncé’s crew, who said the rear window of their rented Jeep Wagoneer had been shattered, and two suitcases were missing.

Inside those bags? Hard drives containing unreleased Beyoncé music, plans for the Cowboy Carter tour, and set lists. Some of that material, sources say, had never left the hands of her inner circle.
