Going to the Bank? Watch for Possible Bank Juggers By Vance Mitchell, Pasadena Police Department
I
N THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE CRIME OF BANK JUGGING HAS BEEN ON THE RISE IN Harris County, including the city of Pasadena. The Pasadena Police Department Auto Crimes Unit offers advice on how to avoid becom-
ing a victim.
What is bank jugging? This is a term that describes suspects who sit in bank parking lots
watching customers entering and exiting a bank. If the suspect believes a bank customer is in possession of cash, they
follow the customer looking for an opportunity to burglarize their vehicles or rob them directly. Juggers most frequently target customers carrying bank bags, bank
envelopes and coin boxes. Most jugging, or Burglary of Motor Vehicles, occurs at a retail or
commercial business at which the bank customer stops after leaving the bank. If a bank customer leaves the bank and does not leave their money
unattended in the vehicle, most juggers will go back to the bank to tar- get another banking customer; however, some juggers will confront the bank customer in an attempt to rob them by taking the money by force.
Watch for these signs: • Occupied vehicles backed into parking spaces with a clear view of the front doors of the bank, ATM or commercial drive-thru line
• Vehicles arriving at a bank with no occupants entering the bank • Vehicles changing parking spaces • Vehicles with dark tinted windows with little or no visibility of the occupants
• Vehicles with multiple occupants
Anonymous information may be left on our Operation Cow Thief tip line at 888-830-2333. TSCRA offers a cash reward for information leading to the arrest and/or grand jury indictment of thieves.
Protect yourself: • Always be aware of your surroundings. • Conceal money before leaving the bank. • Never openly carry bank bags, envelopes or coin boxes. • Be aware of anyone following you from the area of a bank. • If you suspect you are being targeted, call 911 from your cell phone and keep the dispatcher informed of your location, the direction you are traveling, and drive toward the police station until marked police cars are able to locate you.
• Do not leave or try to hide your bank bag or bank envelope in your vehicle when you exit at your next destination, even if it’s your residence.
