In California, a British band was held up at gunpoint.

On Tuesday, during their U.S. tour, the British band Sports Team was held at gunpoint by robbers for approximately 10 minutes.

Early in the morning, at a Starbucks in Vallejo, California, the band disclosed the occurrence of the situation.

The group's Instagram read, 'Man runs in saying some guys are smashing into a van.' He ran out to try to stop it and found masked guys ransacking the van. He started yelling and they pulled out a gun. The police response was 'submit an online report.'

The band lost a lot of personal gear but managed to keep their instruments. Despite the loss, they are still driving on to Sacramento to perform tonight. The band added, "They can take our Nintendo Switches, but they can never take our ability to play rock songs about motorways."

"In all seriousness pretty shocking how resigned everyone seemed to be to it. ‘It happens’. 9am at some petrol station Starbucks. Wild." — Sports Team

"It was quite astonishing how everyone seemed to accept it. 'It happens.' At 9am, in a Starbucks located at a petrol station, it was wild."

Planet Chronicle Digital reached out to Vallejo Police Department for additional information.

According to frontman Alex Rice of the band, the laptops, in-ear monitors, personal items, and cameras were stolen during the robbery, but the instruments were not affected because the back of the van is secured.

Three of the six members' passports were also taken.

Our immediate concern is obtaining new passports since three of us had them stolen.

"It's a situation where one needs to go to the consulate and resolve the issue before Christmas."

The group will continue their U.S. tour while promoting their upcoming album, "Boys These Days."

Rice stated in an interview with Sky News that they are fortunate to have a lot of friends in San Francisco and that people have been very supportive.

"We were fortunate not to have our actual instruments stolen, as it has happened to us before."
