Criminals will wait in parking lots of malls, stores and banks to pick their prey, who are typically distracted or fumbling with bags......the thieves "size people up" to see if they have their heads in the clouds and how much property they have on them.
In this photo.....Two suspects followed a woman home after she withdrew money from a bank in Austin, Texas, in September 2022, and attacked her on her front porch and stole her purse full of cash in an example of "jugging,"
This will only increase the public’s willingness to accept digital currency, and do away with cash.
“Bank jugging”.... is a scheme where suspects park outside of banks and watch customers walk in and out.
“They follow the customer ‘to another location’ and watch them exit their vehicle. The suspect vehicle pulls up next to the victim’s vehicle, exits the vehicle, breaks the window, jumps into the vehicle, and then exits ‘within five seconds’. Taking the money and/or other valuables.”
