Summary
Three Texas men are charged in Phoenix for “bank jugging” — a dangerous scheme where criminals tail ATM users to rob them. The plot began after a Mesa victim lost $2,600 in coins from their car right after banking. Detectives tracked their rental car from Houston and set a trap using an undercover decoy. Though the suspects didn’t follow the decoy to the end, they were nabbed near Phoenix. Two are released under Arizona residency restrictions; the third, DeFredrick Johnson, faces a $10K bond due to a prior offense. Victims urge caution: keep cash hidden, stay alert, and avoid distractions like phones — especially at night or in isolated spots. All three are set for court soon.
