Robbery Alert from Baytown Police – May 2015
by Lakewood on May.22, 2015, under Neighborhood Watch
We have been seeing this trend around the Houston area for a while now and apparently it has made its way to Baytown. Below is an email we received from Chambers County Sherriff’s Department. Please pass it along to your groups.
It appears the juggers have moved up to Baytown/Chambers County. Our victim reportedly took out $600 from the ATM at Chase Bank on Garth Road and drove straight to Walmart on SH 146/10. When she returned from inside the store, her passenger side window was smashed. The only thing missing was the cash envelope. Video surveillance shows a black passenger car (possibly a new Ford Fusion) pulling up to her vehicle. A black male, wearing a black hoodie, is observed approaching her passenger side window. A few seconds later, he gets back in his car and the suspects leave.
From what I am being told about juggers, their MO is to rent vehicles, super tint the windows, and remove/change the plates. They lie and wait near banks and follow the victims’ home or their next location. They are either jumping out to rob the victims or just waiting to burglarize the vehicles.
Pay attention to what vehicles and who is around you at your banking institutions. Check your mirrors to make sure you are not being followed from the bank. DO NOT LEAVE THINGS OF VALUE IN YOUR VEHICLE. If you suspect you are being watched or followed call the police.
