Grupo Siggno is a regional Mexican and Tejano band that is currently on tour.
The band last played on Sunday in Premont, just two hours south of San Antonio.
“You never expect it to happen to you,” Turner said in live video. “When it happens, it’s a hard pill to swallow.”
SAPD said the U-Haul was found by Bexar County’s Sheriff’s Office before the report was made.
In the report, SAPD said the equipment was worth between $150,000 and $300,000.
SAPD and BCSO are investigating the robbery. No arrests have been made as of Wednesday afternoon.
In the Facebook post, Turner shared his frustrations on the incident while expressing his passion for his work.
“People can steal my equipment... but people cannot steal my drive,” Turner said.
The band is asking anyone with information on the theft to contact authorities and be aware of people selling their merchandise or production equipment.
“I don’t know how we are going to move forward,” Turner said.
The band is expected to perform Friday in Irving at the Southern Junction.
