A thief broke into the couple's car and stole the money after following them from the bank.
The victim of a recent jugging crime in Austin is speaking out after a thief stole $10,000 from the victim's car on Thursday, April 13."It was just loss. At that point, I had no emotion anymore," said Gargan.
Campolito and Gargan are home remolding contractors. On April 13, they went to a bank near Parmer Lane and I-35 to cash a client's $10,000 check for a job they just completed. The man called police to say he was following the car of people who had stolen money from him and was trying to stop the car near S. Lakeline Blvd. and Cypress Creek.
"They hit it three times right here, since they couldn't succeed on that. They started moving to the back window. They smashed this in, and unlocked it right there," said Gargan. "No. That's the problem. I am always aware of that, too," said Gargan.Jugging victim shoots suspect during attempt to pull them over himself, Cedar Park police say
