Sports Team, the acclaimed British alt-rock outfit, faced a shocking incident when they were robbed at gunpoint in Vallejo as they started their West Coast tour. This occurred just ten minutes into their tour, while they were inside a Starbucks, and the robbers took personal belongings, leading to a resigned attitude about crime.
The band took to Instagram to recount the harrowing experience, sharing how they were alerted about their tour van being ransacked. When they confronted the masked robbers, one pulled out a gun, forcing them to back down and let the thieves escape with their possessions, though the instruments remained untouched.
Despite the shocking robbery, Sports Team's spirit remains high as they announced their determination not to let the incident stop their tour schedule. They humorously noted that material items can be replaced, but their passion for music continues strong, showing resilience in the face of adversity.
The police response to the incident further fueled their disbelief, as the band learned that officers would not respond to the crime scene and merely advised them to file an online report, highlighting a troubling aspect of police oversight.
