Keys to CBS Atlanta’s rental car stolen in front of R. Kelly’s studio, station says

The keys to a CBS Atlanta affiliate rental car were stolen late Sunday outside R. Kelly’s studio on the Near West Side, according to a reporter at the station.

The theft to the CBS 46 investigative team occurred as the news crew was attempting to film a person believed to be Kelly exiting the studio, tweeted Jonathan Carlson, the station’s chief investigative reporter.

At 11:50 p.m., a male got out of a black SUV and stole the keys from a 2018 Chevy Malibu in the 200 block of North Justine, according to Chicago police. The SUV fled south on Justine Street, police said. Carlson’s tweet said the thief knew the rental car belonged to the media.
