Many Chicagoans falling victim to new wave of crime known as 'bank jackings'. In major cities like Chicago, criminals armed with guns are compelling individuals to unlock their phones, gaining access to banking apps such as Zelle, Venmo, and Cash App. This digital convenience has become a catalyst for a unique form of robbery, where assailants, often masked, force victims to surrender their passcodes or use facial recognition technology. Once inside, these robbers swiftly drain bank accounts, often netting more than $1,000 – a substantial haul compared to traditional wallet theft.
