Why you should care:

Cedar Park police said this incident is known as a jugging incident. They are asking people to be aware of their surroundings when you leave a bank with a large amount of cash.

"This investigation was determined to be associated with a popular criminal act known as ‘jugging,’ where criminals surveil financial institutions and target customers who conduct cash transactions. These criminals will follow victims away from the financial institution and either burglarize vehicles, or as in this case, threaten or use violence to steal money from victims. The Cedar Park Police continue to ask the public to be mindful of their surroundings when conducting cash transactions at a bank or other financial institution. If you suspect you are being followed, immediately call 911 and report the situation to the police," police said.
