Splendora police have released video of the robbery being carried out in broad daylight.
A Texas thief was caught on camera brazenly jumping through the window of a parked truck to steal cash, police said.
Splendora police were dispatched to a Fuelmaxx on US Highway 59 for a “jugging incident” Saturday morning. The term refers to incidents in which thieves stake out potential victims in bank parking lots and then follow them to another destination to rob them.

Video footage released by Splendora police shows a blue vehicle pulling up next to the pickup truck on the oppose side of the gas pump. The driver can be seen exiting the vehicle and jumping through the back driver-side window of the pickup. Police said the suspect stole a “large sum of cash” from the victim.
The suspected thief placed paper on their license plate so they could not be identified, police said.
