Police sound alarm on dangerous ‘jugging’ robbery trend sweeping across America

Law enforcement officials in South Carolina are issuing a warning to the public after surveillance footage of a disturbing trend known as “jugging” surfaced. This violent street crime involves criminals targeting individuals who withdraw large sums of money from banks and ATMs.

Jugging, which has been compared to mugging, has been spreading from Texas to South Carolina. Fox News Senior Correspondent Steve Harrigan highlighted the seriousness of the crime, stating that some police officers were unaware of the term until it started occurring in their jurisdictions. Law enforcement officials emphasize that jugging incidents can happen quickly and catch victims off guard.

In the recently captured surveillance footage from April 26, a man can be seen struggling inside a red truck before quickly jumping into a silver SUV. The SUV then speeds away from the scene, showcasing the swift nature of these crimes.

Cpl. Cecilio Reyes of the Mauldin Police Department in South Carolina explained the typical modus operandi of jugging. Criminals will monitor individuals as they enter or exit banks, or make ATM withdrawals, observing the amount of cash they are carrying. Once the victims finish their transactions, the perpetrators will follow them to a secondary location, often robbing them inside their vehicles.

The crime originated in Texas before making its way to North and South Carolina. One incident in South Carolina involved a landscaping business owner who withdrew his weekly payroll from a bank, stopped at a gas station, and was robbed of $6,000 by two juggers who broke into his vehicle.

In response to the growing threat of jugging, Texas lawmakers are working to classify it as a specific felony with harsher penalties than simple robbery. This legislative action aims to deter criminals from engaging in these dangerous and predatory activities.

As jugging continues to pose a significant risk to individuals withdrawing large sums of money, law enforcement agencies are urging the public to remain vigilant and take precautions when conducting financial transactions in public spaces. By raising awareness about this emerging crime trend, authorities hope to prevent further incidents and protect the safety and well-being of the community.
