A British rock band is reliving the moment they were robbed at gunpoint on the first day of their U.S. tour.
On Tuesday, Dec. 3, Sports Team — which is made up of Alex Rice, Oli Dewdney, Al Greenwood, Rob Knaggs, Ben Mack and Henry Young — shared a video of the moment a group of masked men started attacking their van as they ordered coffee at a Starbucks.
“Just been robbed at gun point 10 minutes into the US tour,” the caption read about the incident, which occurred outside Starbucks in Vallejo, California, according to CBS News and the BBC.
“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,” the band added. “Start yelling and they pull out a gun. Police response was ‘submit an online report.’ ”

The rock band added that while some of their personal items were stolen, this did not include any of their instruments.
"So driving on to Sacramento to play tonight,” the band added. “They can take our Nintendo Switches but they can never take our ability to play rock songs about motorways (freeways)."
"In all seriousness pretty shocking how resigned everyone seemed to be to it, ‘It happens.’ 9am at some petrol station Starbucks. Wild,” they added on a more serious note.

In the video, someone can be heard shouting ”Get down, Lauren get down,” from behind the camera shouting, before the band members run back inside the Starbucks. “Ring the police, ring the police. Guys, somebody ring the police," the voice added.
Others could also be heard shouting “Stay inside” as two people were filmed running for safety.
Speaking to the BBC about the incident, Sport Team's drummer Al Greenwood said that the band was inside Starbucks when somebody entered and asked if anyone had “a white Sprinter van? Because you're being robbed right now.”
"So we all ran out, shouting. Lauren, our tour manager, was slightly ahead of me, and somebody else ran past us in the opposite direction, and said, 'Careful, he's holding something,’ ” Greenwood recalled.
"I really thought I was about to watch someone get shot, because it took a while for our tour manager to realize," he added. "In the video, you can hear me screaming at her to get down."
The band also expressed how they were surprised by the calm reactions of people nearby.
"Obviously, if someone pulls a gun, you run for cover," singer Alex Rice told the outlet. "But the thing that struck me about it was the resignation. The people around us weren't very panicked at all. It seemed like a very everyday occurrence."
The Vallejo Police Department did not immediately reply when approached by PEOPLE for comment.
