It’s called “Bank Jugging”. While the origin of the term is unclear, the
\nmethod by which this crime occurs is described as follows: The suspect sits in
\na parking lot and watches customers go in and out of a bank. The suspect then
\nfollows the customers they believe are in possession of cash or expensive
\nitems and look for an opportunity to burglarize their vehicles. These
\ncriminals frequently target customers carrying bank bags, bank envelopes, and
\ncoin boxes. Most “jugging” burglary of motor vehicles occur at a retail or
\ncommercial business the customer stops at after leaving the bank.<\/p>\n
On May 30, the victim who is a recent widower, removed his wife’s jewelry from
\nhis safety deposit box in preparation for his daughter’s upcoming wedding. He
\nleft the Bank of America (9385 N. 56th St), placed the jewelry in his trunk,
\nand went to a nearby Amscot (5002 E. Busch Blvd). He then drove to the area of
\nN. 18th St and E. 24th Ave., where he parked his vehicle for a short time.
\nWhen he returned to his car, he found the door lock had been punched, the
\ntrunk opened, and the jewelry stolen.<\/p>\n
The subject in the video was recorded on camera at the Bank of America at the
\nsame time as the victim. The suspect appears to have followed the victim to
\nthe Amscot immediately after, where he was again recorded. Detectives are very
\ninterested in speaking with him.<\/p>\n
As detectives continue their investigation, they are also asking for anyone
\nwho may know who this person is to contact Crimestoppers of Tampa Bay at
\n800.873.TIPS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
