Robbery Tip Tuesday: Protect Yourself from Becoming a Victim of a Jugging


Robbery Tip Tuesday

Protect yourself from becoming a victim of a jugging

Jugging refers to a type of crime that involves stealing money from people who have just withdrawn cash from a financial institution.

The suspect then follows the victim to a new location and robs them.

BE AWARE

When withdrawing money, be mindful of your surroundings and check if anyone is watching you.

Always pay attention to the vehicles around you and if they are occupied.

BE DISCREET

After withdrawing cash, immediately put the money in your wallet or purse and conceal it.

BE UNPREDICTABLE

Change your routines by visiting your bank at different times of the day or use different branches to make it harder to predict your behavior.

ALWAYS TRUS YOUR INSTINCTS. If something doesn’t feel right, then it probably isn’t.
