What is jugging?

Jugging is a term used to describe a type of crime in which criminals follow victims who have just left banks or ATMs and rob them of their cash or valuables. The criminals typically observe the victim making a large withdrawal and then follow them to another location where they are vulnerable to robbery. Jugging is often carried out by groups of individuals working together, with one person following the victim, another acting as a lookout, and others conducting the actual robbery.

To prevent falling victim to jugging, it is recommended to be aware of your surroundings when making cash transactions and avoid displaying large sums of money in public. It is also advisable to vary your routine and not always visit the same bank or ATM at the same time. If you suspect you are being followed, do not hesitate to seek help or contact the police.

Jugging is a serious crime that can result in financial loss, injury, or even death. Law enforcement agencies have been working to raise awareness about jugging and educate the public on ways to protect themselves from falling victim to this type of crime.
