Brazilian news channel G1 reported that the armed men overtook the van, forced it to stop, and then stole it along with the items inside. It is thought that the truck was filled with Harry Styles merchandise and was not part of the touring party.

Police have said the driver, who appeared to be left unharmed along with the rest of the crew, was "subdued" by the three men who are yet to be tracked down. The van has not yet been recovered.
