What is 'bank jugging'? Police issue alerts to residents in Greenbelt, Bowie
Fox 5 Washington DC
BOWIE, Md. - Law enforcement agencies across our area are issuing alerts about jugging, where crooks watch you during your banking transactions and then rob you.
Greenbelt police issued an alert Wednesday, just one day after Bowie police put out a similar alert.
Bowie police say over the last two weeks the city has experienced an uptick in residents getting robbed. The suspects are reportedly targeting people leaving banking and financial institutions and robbing them onsite.
"I always keep my eyes wide open," said Jamie Lopez, a Bowie resident.
