Did you know Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar own a liquor brand together?
We had no idea until this weekend, after a couple of trucks carrying their tequila Santo Spirits were hijacked at the Texas border, resulting in major losses for the celebrity chef and former Van Halen singer.
All told, about $1 million worth of products were stolen from the trucks, around 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.
A rep for Hagar told FOX News that "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 said workers at their Mexican distillery were "on a 24/7 schedule right now" to replace the stolen tequila, but it’s unlikely they’ll be able to fully replenish their supply in time for the holidays.
Fieri is offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who can locate the missing trucks.
