Surveillance video appears to show someone tampering with the lock on their trailer after 3:30 a.m. Monday on the corner of South 15th and Dickinson streets in South Philadelphia.
It's a dream come true for the Summer Salt band as they perform across the East Coast.But drummer Eugene Chung said they woke up to a nightmare Monday morning.
"I walked out at 7 in the morning to get a change of clothes and saw the lock was missing and all of our gear was gone," said Chung."There's moments of frustration, disappointment, and discouragement is the biggest thing for me personally," said Matthew Terry, who is the guitarist and singer of the Texas band.
Terry and Chung said their drums, guitar amp and pedal, digital mixer and more were stolen. They said it's worth about $30,000, but also has sentimental value. Video appears to show someone tampering with a lock on Summer Salt's trailer after 3:30 a.m. Monday on the corner of South 15th and Dickinson streets in South Philadelphia."Yeah, it's unfortunate, but right now we have a good crew, and we're moving forward, and the community has been great," said Terry.
While police investigate, the band urges residents to contact them if they have any information and to search pawn shops and resale sites for their equipment."It's definitely our love for music and playing to our fans and sharing that experience together that will always keep us going no matter what happens," said Chung.They said they'll rent and buy new equipment along the way, but hope their equipment returns home.
