JUGGING
HOUSTON – The crime is called “jugging” and it refers to a type of robbery where the bad guys work in teams of two to rip you off.

The first guy is the spotter, the person who first targets the victim to be attacked.
The second player is the driver, who will help the spotter make his or her getaway once the theft has been accomplished.
Juggers, police say, are thieves who are out to rob you while you are out shopping, going to the ATM to withdraw money or filling up your gas tank at the gas station.
Once a crime where the thieves simply tried to steal packages or a purse or a wallet from your car, now police say juggers have developed a new game plan.
