CONROE, Texas — Local and state law enforcement agencies in the Houston area have formed a task force to track down robbers who follow bank customers and then steal their hard-earned money.
They're already seeing success with nearly two dozen jugging suspects arrested in the last three months, according to Montgomery County Sheriff Wesley Doolittle.
He held a joint news conference on Thursday with Harris County Sheriff Gonzalez, Houston Police Chief Noe Diaz, Department of Public Safety Director Colonel Freeman Martin and others.
The task force is putting undercover officers, deputies and troopers at banks to conduct surveillance to catch the bad guys in the act. They're also using real-time crime centers, drones and other technology to track down the criminals.
