How to Chase Thieves in the City in GTA V

Chasing the Thieves in Hawick

Travel to the corner of Hawick Avenue and Alta Plaza. This random event takes place near the Suburban clothing store. If the event has been triggered, your radar will flash. A red and blue flashing blip will also occur on your radar, to indicate the location of the thieves. They will speed off in a Lost MC van, and you will hear the victim cry out for help.

Chase down the thieves and kill them. If you have explosives, such as sticky bombs, you can throw them at the van and detonate them to kill the thieves quickly. Another option is to shoot at their gas tank until the van catches fire and explodes. Otherwise, you will need to stop their vehicle by shooting out their tires, then shoot and kill them once they get out of the van. If you kill the thieves while they’re still near the Suburban store, the victim will walk up to them and retrieve the cash. The event will be considered complete if this happens, but you will not gain any money. Franklin’s special ability to slow time while driving is beneficial, as the thieves will be driving fast and weaving through traffic.

Walk up to the thieves to collect the money, then either keep it or return it. To keep the $2,000 they stole, walk in a direction away from the victim’s location. Otherwise, go back to the victim to return the money. You will be rewarded $200 for returning it. Your special ability meter will be filled upon completion of the random event, regardless of how you complete it.

Chasing the Thieves in Textile City

Drive to the corner of San Andreas Avenue and Strawberry Avenue. If this event is occurring, you will see a dot on your radar flashing blue and red (shortly after your radar itself flashes). This dot will show you where the thieves are as they escape on two LCC Hexer motorcycles after stealing someone’s wallet.

Chase after the thieves, then kill them. Since they are on motorcycles, they will be easier to shoot. You can also kill them by running over them in your vehicle, as long as you’re not also riding a motorcycle. It is possible to complete the event by killing the thieves near the wallet’s owner. However, doing so will not result in a monetary reward. You can use Franklin’s special ability for an advantage, since he can slow down time while he drives.

Return the wallet to the owner, or keep it for yourself. Travel away from the wallet’s owner to complete the event and keep the $500. If you’d prefer to return the wallet, travel back to the location where the random event started. The owner of the wallet will give you a $50 reward. For completing this event, your special ability bar will be replenished.
