Beyoncé is currently in Atlanta for a multi-night concert stop as part of her Cowboy Carter Tour.
Atlanta Police responded to a report of a motor vehicle break in just after 9 p.m. near the well known Krog Street Market.
The victims told police that they parked their rental car with suitcases inside around 8:09 p.m. and came back to find them stolen.
According to the police, the first victim, identified as Christopher Grant, said he was a choreographer for Beyoncé and was carrying "personal sensitive information" for the star that had been stolen along with hard drives.
A dancer also said she had her items in the car and was identified in the report as Diandre Blue. She said that items she had included hard drives for the upcoming show.
The report says the police were able to ping a laptop and Airpods in nearby vehicles and did take a fingerprint sample from a person they stopped in one of those vehicles.
It is unclear if the suspect or suspects knew the suitcases were connected to Beyoncé.
