With the holidays now on the horizon, police are urging people to be on their guard for the type of attempted theft that occurred in Hays County on Oct. 26.
According to the Kyle Police Department in a press release, at approximately 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 26, Kyle Police officers responded to a report from a person who suspected they were being followed by unknown individuals after leaving a local bank.
Police stated that this kind of following of an individual is 'a common practice,' known as “bank jugging,” in which someone who may have recently withdrawn cash from a financial institution, an ATM or who has exited from a check cashing store is targeted and pursued as they travel to another location, where the likelihood is that they will either be robbed or their vehicle will be burglarized.
