The morning after they'd landed in San Francisco on Monday, Sports Team frontman Alex Rice and his bandmates made a quick pit stop at a Starbucks in Vallejo, California. Minutes later, Rice told Sky News, they heard someone say "has anyone got a white Sprinter van outside? It's being robbed!"

The London-based band had pulled into a petrol station to get breakfast when masked robbers armed with a gun ‘ransacked’ their van and made off with valuable belongings

"They can take our Nintendo Switches but they can never take our ability to play rock songs about motorways," the band shared on social media.
