(Seguin) – A year long investigation has landed a Houston area couple behind bars. Seguin Police officials say over the course of the last year, Seguin has experienced a handful of jugging incidents which have been under investigation. Jugging is described when suspects follow people in vehicles who may be carrying large sums of money. They say these are typically people who leave the bank to go home or to another business. These criminals wait to break into the victim’s car
or truck and/or commit armed robbery, stealing the victim’s money.
The local investigation is said to have uncovered multiple vehicle burglaries within multiple jurisdictions. The Seguin Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division was able to locate vehicle rental history used by the suspects and tied both the suspects and vehicles to various jugging incidents with the city of Seguin, Temple, and Buda.
