⚡ WANTED SYSTEM BRIEFING: Grand Theft Auto VI eliminates the "psychic police" frustration of GTA V. Law enforcement across the State of Leonida now operates on a Two-Phase Witness & Description System: bystanders must physically spot your crime and call 911 (or film you on their smartphone), and responding Vice City Police Department (VCPD) or Leonida Highway Patrol units search the last known perimeter based on your vehicle model, license plate, and clothing.
Escaping the law in Leonida requires brains as well as horsepower. Whether you are robbing Hank’s Waffles in Port Gellhorn or running contraband across the Overseas Highway in the Keys, understanding how police jurisdictions and witness timers work is the key to keeping your cash.

3 Steps to Pull Off a Zero-Bounty Robbery in Port Gellhorn
- Control the Phones First: When entering a store in Joint Partner Mode, use Lucia’s intimidation prompt to force bystanders away from windows—if a pedestrian outside films your getaway car plate, police instantly lock onto your vehicle even if you break line of sight.
- Break Line of Sight & Swap Vehicles: Park a secondary car or motorcycle inside a covered parking garage or alley two blocks away. Ditching a "burned" getaway car outside the red search cone drops police recognition timers in half.
- Respect Lucia’s Early Ankle Monitor Boundary: During the opening chapters, crossing out of Vice-Dale County / Port Gellhorn while playing as Lucia triggers a GPS parole violation alert—use Jason for long-distance Keys and Grassrivers runs until her monitor is cleared.
