A member of the Backstreet Boys pop music group tells police that $120,000 in jewelry was stolen from a Stone Mountain hotel where he and his wife were staying.

Brian Littrell said they were leaving Stone Mountain Park outside Atlanta when they realized the jewelry had been left on a nightstand in their hotel room. He said that when they returned to the hotel to retrieve the items, they were gone.

Leighanne Littrell said the $120,000 in jewelry included her engagement ring valued at $110,000.

Police were at the hotel Sunday night. It wasn’t immediately clear when the reported theft occurred.
