Stay Alert, Bella Terra: Preventing Bank Jugging & Scams During Tax Season

Residents of Bella Terra,

With tax season coming out, the Precinct 4 Constables Office would like to remind you to please pay closer attention to your surroundings, as bank jugging will probably be on the rise. What is bank jugging? Bank jugging is a crime that is committed by a person who watches and follows people that withdrawal money from a bank or ATM and then steal their cash. Typically the person withdrawing money is followed until an opportune time is available to steal the cash. Crime prevention tips:

  • Always check your surroundings
  • Routinely lock your vehicles
  • Remove all and any valuables from your vehicle or keep them out of plain view
  • Park vehicles in the garage or driveway

Another crime that has been popular and on the rise is scamming. What is a scam? A scam is any means someone uses to get you to part with your money. They play on our emotions or promise big payoffs to get us to act. Scammers also pose as people, agencies, and companies you know and trust. Scams can occur over the telephone, though the mail, over the internet, or in person. Crime prevention tips:

  • Don’t send or wire money to anyone you do not know
  • Do not give out credit card information unless you are initiating a known transaction
  • Do not reply to emails of phone calls requesting financial information or Social Security number.
  • Be sure to contact your financial institution directly if you have any questions or concerns.

If you have any questions, concerns, complaints, or compliments to the Constables Office Precinct 4, please reach out to the Precinct 4 Constables Office, Constable Patrick Quincy at 281-341-4536.

The non-emergency line for criminal matters is 281-341-4665, and for any life threatening or immediate emergencies, please dial 9-1-1. Remember, there is no call that is not important to us.

Update Regarding Smart Meters

The survey results for installation of smart meters are in!

179 residents completed the smart meter survey. 153 residents voted in favor of installing, and 26 voted against installing.

Based on the overwhelming support in favor of smart meters, the Board of Directors of Fort Bend County MUD 133 (the “Board”) has decided to move forward with the installation of smart meters. The Board anticipates that it will take 6-8 months before all meters are replaced. All work should be inside your meter box and additional excavation should not occur unless there are unforeseen problems. Instructions on how to take advantage of all the capabilities will be provided after your meter is installed.
