One of the two truckloads of Sammy Hagar and celebrity chef partner Guy Fieri's Santo Tequila that were allegedly hijacked in Laredo, Texas last November has been recovered (Laredo Police have said that their was no actual hijacking in Laredo).
Hagar says, "We’ll never find the second one because it supposedly has been dispersed into the system," adding that it was “well planned” and that, “There was some kind of organization, I can’t talk too much about it, but we’re finding out who it was.”
The trucks were transporting 4040 cases of tequila -- 24,240 bottles -- with a value of around $1 million. They had Blanco, Reposado and a specially-made extra Añejo, which took 39 months to create.
Fieri compared the heist to the mafia robbing $5.875 million in money and jewels from the Lufthansa cargo terminal at Kennedy Airport in New York on December 11th, 1978. "It's like a movie -- I never in a million years thought this was coming down the pike like this, but it's real."
Hagar has posted a video on Instagram of him sampling a bottle of the extra Añejo from the heist, saying, "You have to taste it to believe it."
Hagar will be back on stage with a solo show at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo in San Antonio, Texas on February 20th and on the 21st, and his tour will stop at Lucas Oil Live at Winstar in Thackerville, Oklahoma.
