Beware of “Bank Jugging”

Local law enforcement is warning those who do business at financial institutions to hide bank bags, envelopes, and coin boxes.

Bryan police officer Kelley McKethan says there’s been an increase in the crime called “bank jugging”.

That involves suspects who sit in parked vehicles near banks and watch for people they think are carrying cash.

McKethan says to call 9-1-1 if you notice suspicious activity in bank parking lots or if someone is following you.
