Among a wide variety of tours that have occurred throughout the past couple of months, multiple robberies have happened. Russian Circles, Mannequin Pussy and Metz all had their vans stolen while on tour, losing their equipment and merch. According to the PRP, Citizen is the latest victim of this theft — but they were able to recover their equipment in the same day.
The article reports that the band was able to find their equipment due to tracking devices such as AirTags. Since they quickly found their materials, they were able to resume their tour with Drug Church, Floating Room and Glitterer.
This morning, our van and trailer were stolen from our hotel. But we had a tracker in that shit and we found it and got it back. Portland, we’re on our way. Let’s go. pic.twitter.com/BTwWcSJLSE
