Police in Berlin, Connecticut, are alerting the public about a rising crime known as “jugging,” which targets individuals withdrawing cash from banks and ATMs.
According to authorities, jugging involves suspects watching bank or ATM customers, then following them to another location to steal cash or break into their vehicles.
Police urge residents to stay alert, avoid distractions like using cell phones or wearing headphones while at banks or ATMs, and to secure cash immediately after withdrawing it.
They also recommend watching for suspicious people or vehicles in parking lots and contacting authorities if anything seems off. Staying vigilant, they say, is key to staying safe.
