Victim speaks out as Texas bill aims to make jugging a specific criminal offense
SUMMARY: A Houston woman, Catherine, became a victim of “jugging” after thieves broke into her car and stole $5,000 cash she had just withdrawn from a bank. State Representative David Cook from Fort Worth is proposing a bill, House Bill 1902, to classify jugging as a separate criminal offense in Texas, aiming to address the crime early and deter future incidents. The police have formed a task force to combat jugging and are currently searching for a gray Infinity linked to Catherine’s case. Experts advise staying vigilant and reporting suspicious vehicles to authorities to enhance personal safety.
