Did you know a new and violent crime wave is sweeping through cities, with over 200 reported cases in San Antonio alone this year? This alarming trend, known as “jugging,” involves criminals tailing unsuspecting individuals from banks or ATMs after they withdraw large sums of cash. Often, victims are targeted at their most vulnerable, like when stopping for gas, only to have their money violently snatched in a swift smash-and-grab. Recently, San Antonio police released unsettling footage showing just how quickly these incidents unfold: suspects in a stolen vehicle circled a victim’s car twice at a gas station before breaking in and stealing cash left on the passenger seat. Detective Nathan Zachary describes a chillingly simple pattern, where thieves observe people leaving banks with money and then follow them, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. From busy city intersections to quiet suburban towns like Boerne, no area seems safe from this rising threat. Police urge residents to remain vigilant, advising them to “check their tail” after leaving a financial institution and to conceal any withdrawn money discreetly. This escalating crime underscores the importance of staying aware of your surroundings and never leaving cash visible in your car.
