Blade Runner actress Sean Young is wanted for questioning by police in connection with a burglary in Queens this week.
Investigators say the burglary took place on Thursday around noon at 33-01 36th Avenue in Astoria. Two laptops, containing expensive video production software, were taken from a business called "School of Old." The items have been valued at around $12,000, according to the Daily News.
NBC reports that Young used to work there, and she was apparently let go from the business about four months ago. They add, "details on the business and her employment there weren't immediately clear, but sources say she appeared to have gone into the business around noon Thursday without permission and with an unidentified person." Employees showed police surveillance footage of the break-in, which showed a man and a woman.
The NYPD confirmed that Young, 58, is wanted for questioning regarding the incident. In addition to starring in Blade Runner and cameoing in last year's Blade Runner 2049, Young has also starred in No Way Out, Wall Street, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and most recently, TNT series The Alienist. She was also arrested for allegedly slapping a security guard at an Oscars after-party in 2012.
