Justin Bieber's concert takings were stolen by a gang of thieves in South Africa earlier this week.
The criminal group - reportedly armed with rope, chisels and hammers - stole more than 1 million rand (£70,000) from the gig.
They broke into Johannesburg's Soccer City stadium and made away with money generated from Bieber's shows at the venue, reports BBC Newsbeat.
It is believed that the gang spent several days chiselling through the walls at the stadium and then lowered themselves into the venue with rope.
"The money was taken from the building and they only realised today," an officer said yesterday (May 14). "We don't know how many people were involved as we are still gathering evidence."
South African police spokesperson Katlego Mogale added: "The suspect had gained entry through the roof. They broke the tile of the bathroom between last night [Sunday] after the concert and this morning."
It was the second of Bieber's two dates in South Africa as part of his 'Believe' world tour, which will resume in San Diego on June 22 for the North American run.
