came across this message ,so thought I should pass it on. John H
WARNING!!! All bands VERY VIGILANT after showcase gigs or on the way home from weddings. We have received word that bands are being targeted for cash and gear. A band (which we will not name) had it's van rammed from behind at 90mph. by an organised gang driving two vehicles. Luckily they got away after being followed for five or so miles! They may have been aware that the band were carrying showcase deposits or they may have just been targeting the equipment. It was suggested by the Gardai that they may have intended the band to stop (falsely believing they had been hit by accident) and then the gang would hijack the vehicle and contents. It was also suggested that a gang operating this type of operation would not be unarmed!
It may have been a completely random attack but nevertheless we are putting you all in the know.
PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES IN THE MUSIC FRATERNITY.
Be vigilant leaving venues and to use alternate routes home from showcases.
Furthermore, if any of you have been the victim of (or are aware of) a similar situation please spread the word and help everyone to be on their gaurd.
Be safe over the Christmas!
