Vangelicos Jewelry store on Eastbourne Way and Portola Drive in Rockford Hills is a prime target for a smash and grab. It is indicated by a blue diamond icon on the map. At least two police officers need to be active for the heist to become available.
- All interactions use the third-eye, unless otherwise stated.
- This crime is affected by the global cooldown system, meaning it can only be done if there are at least 2 police officers and an available crime window (visible by pressing the Home button).
- A large weapon to break the display cases (Shotgun or assault rifle)
- A hostage (optional, to negotiate with police)
- A good getaway vehicle (also technically optional)
- Interact with one of jewelry display cases to begin smashing them.
- Once smashing is complete, interact with the case again to take the goods.
- You can either continue smashing more cases, or make your escape.
- Once you leave (and possibly evade police), head to the pawn shop to launder your jewelry (the pawn shop is on San Andreas Avenue and Movie Star Way near the mall in Little Seoul, marked with a yellow dollar sign).
- Police will be alerted to the heist when the smashing begins. They have access to security cameras in the building, and will probably check them before heading in.
