An indie rock band from London reported on social media that it was robbed at gunpoint in front of a Starbucks and gas station at 9 a.m. on Dec. 3, just minutes after arriving in the San Francisco Bay area.

The incident allegedly happened at the Starbucks Convenience Center at 199 Lincoln Road West in Vallejo, just off Highway 80 about 45 miles north of the San Francisco International Airport, according to Vallejo Police Department Sgt. Rashad Hollis.
