| [FoxNews] The former Van Halen singer said the theft of the two trucks was a 'huge setback' but he and Fieri were 'glad nobody was hurt during this crime' Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar's tequila business took a major hit after two of their freight trucks carrying $1 million in products were stolen.
The missing trucks were carrying 24,240 bottles of Santo Blanco and Reposado as well as a specially made Extra Añejo, which was created over the course of 39 months. Hagar's rep said "it appears this was an organized crime effort where the trucks were illegally double brokered to different carriers who transferred the product to their trucks" after they crossed over the border from Mexico to Texas. Fieri told People that workers at their Mexican distillery were "on a 24/7 schedule right now" to replace the stolen tequila. However, Fieri said that it was unlikely that they would be able to fully replenish their tequila supply in time for the holidays, during which Santos Spirits typically sees its highest volume of sales. | |
