Rock Band Sports Team Robbed at Gunpoint in Vallejo

California Lifestyle News

British indie rock band Sports Team was reportedly robbed at gunpoint in Vallejo, California while they were getting coffee at a Starbucks on the first day of their United States tour, according to a post from the band on Instagram.

The band says that they lost personal gear when armed robbers targeted their van while they were getting coffee and video from a cellphone shows an individual taking items out of the van as the person taking the video yells for one of the band’s party to get down, shouting “Ring the police!!! Ring the police!!”

“Just been robbed at gun point 10 minutes into the US tour,” the post on Instagram stated.

“Stopped for coffee. Man runs in saying some guys are smashing into a van. Ran out to try to stop it and find masked guys ransacking the van. Start yelling and they pull out a gun.”

According to the BBC, the band “lost their passports, stage equipment and personal belongings in the incident” that reportedly took place at around 8:45 am.

“Police response was “submit an online report.” Lost a lot of personal gear, but they didn’t get the instruments so driving on to Sacramento to play tonight,” the band posted on Instagram. “In all seriousness pretty shocking how resigned everyone seemed to be to it. ‘It happens,'” the post added. “9am at some petrol station Starbucks. Wild.”
