Thief nabs $1M in jewels, clothes from Usher’s SUV

ATLANTA — Atlanta police say a thief stole $1 million in jewelry, clothing and other belongings from R&B singer Usher’s SUV while he shopped last month.

According to an Atlanta Police Department report, the Atlanta resident was returning from the airport on Dec. 14 when he and a companion stopped at an AT&T Store in an upscale shopping area in the Buckhead neighborhood.

Police say an unidentifed man pried open the driver’s side door of the SUV and stole $1,065,700 worth of laptops, cameras, jewels and other items. A witness tells police the suspect escaped in a burgundy Chevrolet Impala.

A message left seeking comment wasn’t immediately returned by a spokeswoman for Usher, whose real name is Usher Raymond IV.
