"Jugging" is a term used to describe a type of robbery where criminals target individuals who have just withdrawn cash from a bank, credit union, or ATM.

Here's how it typically works:

Surveillance: The perpetrators (often working in teams) observe people at financial institutions, looking for individuals who appear to be making large cash withdrawals (e.g., carrying bank bags, envelopes, or large amounts of cash).

Following: Once a target is identified, the criminals discreetly follow them from the bank to a secondary location. This could be a grocery store, gas station, restaurant, or even their home.

Theft: At the secondary location, the criminals seize an opportunity to steal the money. This might involve:

Breaking into the victim's vehicle if the cash is left unattended inside.

Confronting and robbing the victim directly, sometimes using force or threats.

The term "jugging" is thought to come from the idea that the victim is carrying a "jug" of money, making them a target. This crime has been on the rise in various parts of the United States, and law enforcement agencies frequently issue warnings and safety tips to help the public avoid becoming victims.
