Bank jugging is a term used to describe a scenario where a robber waits in the parking lot or other area near the bank and observes customers going in and out of the bank location. They look for customers who exit the bank with a deposit bag or a thick cash envelope. Branch lobby entrances, in-store teller lines, a drive thru, and ATMs are prime locations for this to occur.
The customer is followed by the jugger to their next destination, whether it be to the grocery store, gym or home. The jugger will then take the opportunity to either break into their vehicle or rob them directly.
