Another major city crime APD has seen is jugging robberies. To this date, police reported 129 jugging robberies with nearly $1.3 million stolen.
"A lot of stabbings, shootings, even people using vehicles during robberies and carjackings," says Det. Schwanky.
"When we're dealing with robberies, we're dealing with, for the most part, violent felonies. So it's our utmost priority to try to locate these people as quickly as possible," says Det. Schwanky. "A lot of people are able to identify people that we may not be able to as law enforcement," says Det. Schwanky."These clerks did exactly what they were supposed to do. You know, no amount of money is worth getting hurt. You don't know the mindset of these people coming in here," says Det. Schwanky.
