R Kelly raided: Chicago inspectors raid singer's studio and cite him for 'housing people in non-residential property' - but who was the mystery man hauling away computer hard drive and boxes hours BEFORE?

Members of the Chicago Fire Department and building inspectors raided R Kelly's recording studio on Wednesday afternoon

Hours earlier, a CBS reporter filmed a mystery man leaving the property with boxes and a computer hard drive around 5am

Kelly was ultimately cited for multiple building code violations, including evidence of individuals living in the non-residential building

It is believed that he may have been housing some of his alleged victims in the studio

On the outside of the building were the words 'rapist pedophile' written in chalk

The recording studio where R Kelly allegedly kept some of the women he is accused of abusing was raided on Wednesday by members of the Chicago Fire Department and building inspectors with the city.

CBS 2 was on the scene as a group of over 10 city workers descended upon the building, where someone had written 'rapist pedophile' under one of the windows with chalk.

The station's reporter Mike Puccinelli was also there just after 5am on Wednesday when an unidentified man was seen taking boxes and a computer out of the building, loading them into his trunk and driving off.

It is not known who the man works for or why he was so eager to remove the property from the warehouse, which is under 24-hour police surveillance.
