The Royse City Police Department is investigating two incidents of bank jugging over the last two weeks.
The latest occurred on Friday, May 19 when Liz Kayser was pumping gas at lunchtime at the Buc'ees in Royse City. Kayser had just come back from the bank nearby. Police believe she had been followed for 15 minutes between the bank, the gas station and along Interstate 30.
"[The theives] are looking for people that are walking out with bank envelopes," Royse City Police Officer Ryan Curtis said. "Try to conceal [the envelopes] the best that you can. Also, when you leave the bank see who follows you out of the bank."
Kayser told WFAA she didn't notice anything was out of the ordinary until she heard a window shatter and someone rummaging through her vehicle. Kayser was outside the vehicle at the time pumping gas.
"I knew when he was on the seat what he was after. I started screaming 'get out of my car, get out of my car,'" recalled Kayser.
Police in a social media post described jugging when "the criminals will sit at a distance from the bank and use binoculars to watch for people leaving with large envelopes or bank bags. The criminals will then follow the unsuspecting person from the bank and wait for them to stop at another business. When the person gets out of their car, the criminals break in and steal the money."
Royse City PD said there is surveillance showing a white minivan circling Kayser, attempting to stop three times to make the heist before stopping at the pump opposite her vehicle. The surveillance shows the thief's first attempt to get inside the vehicle but the door was locked.

A friend in Baton Rouge did just that. He was pumping gas when a couple of obama’s sons approached him and threatened to kill him if my friend didn’t give them the keys to his truck.
My friend pulled the gas nozzle out and pointed it at the two little darlings and produced a lighter. The little “gut boyz” got the hint.
I don’t smoke but I do keep a lighter in my console.
When I make a bank run, I head straight home. And watch so see if anyone is following me.
Situational awareness, people. Your head on a swivel and watch your six.
Because our society has been profligately spending taxpayer monies stolen at gunpoint from the productive citizens, to save the truly stupid among us, allowing them to reproduce. Over time, things like that have a way of building up.
A woman in Polk County was accosted by a criminal while pumping gasoline. She used the nozzle to spray him down with gasoline. That gentled him down fast. He quickly went from Wild Bill to Sweet William. And forgot all about doing her bodily harm. Sheriff Grady Judd said that she would have been
within her rights to have shot him. The media representatives did not like to hear that.
I get $10K in cash weekly to pay restaurant employees. Every time I go back to the car from the lobby, I pull out a .40 cal and rack the slide before getting in. The guard loves it.
Ditto...I do the same routine.
I bet Liz does, too, from now on.
Just go straight home after going to the bank.
ALWAYS!
CARRY!
