Crime in Austin is out of control:
"The station reported in February 2022 that another man shared a story that he woke up with no memory of what happened the night before on West 6th Street, only to find thousands of dollars missing from his account.
Then in October 2022, two women were arrested after they allegedly posed as rideshare drivers in February and robbed victims in Downtown Austin, of thousands of dollars.
In a police report obtained by Fox 7, police said, "A common criminal tactic used in the Historic Downtown Austin area includes picking up intoxicated patrons and pretending to be their Uber/Lyft drivers. The patrons will then either be robbed or driven around Austin with the express intent of getting as much money, compensation, or items from the patron as possible."
