British indie band Sports Team have been robbed at gunpoint at the very start of a tour of the United States . The six-person group, who are due to play dates across the US this month, had not even performed their first show when their tour van was broken into at a gas station in Vallejo, California on Tuesday morning.

A touring British indie-rock band claimed they lost personal gear when armed robbers targeted their van while they were getting coffee at a Starbucks in Vallejo, California, Tuesday morning on the first day of their U.

"We retreated to go back inside and were forced to watch them carry out all our personal items from the van." Members of Sports Team say that while the incident was intense, the most shocking part was the reaction from other people after it happened.
