LOS SANTOS DAILY CHRONICLE Thursday, July 4, 2025 Crime & Public Safety Section TRIO OF HIGH-END VEHICLES STOLEN IN BRAZEN CAR THEFT SPREE ACROSS LOS SANTOS By: Alina Cortez – Staff Reporter LOS SANTOS – A sophisticated car theft ring appears to be operating in Los Santos, after three high-end vehicles were reported stolen within a 24-hour window in what authorities are calling a "coordinated spree" targeting the city's luxury car owners. The vehicles—a 2020 Cadillac Escalade, a 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG 63S, and a 2020 Nissan Skyline GT-R—were each stolen from different neighborhoods across the city, from the vine-draped streets of Vinewood Hills to the secure parking structures of Del Perro. According to the Los Santos Police Department (LSPD), all three thefts occurred between midnight and 4 a.m. with no witnesses and no security footage recovered—despite the fact that two of the cars were stored in secured areas. “This isn’t joyriding. These are professionals,” said LSPD spokesperson Sgt. Marla Henson. “Each theft was quick, clean, and left very little trace. We're dealing with a group that knows exactly what they're doing.” The Timeline of Thefts: Thursday, 1:34 – A matte black Cadillac Escalade vanished from an underground parking lot in Rodeo. The owner, a local music producer, reported the theft after returning from a night out in Rockford Plaza. Thursday, 16:00. – A blue Mercedes-Benz AMG 63S was stolen from in front of nightclub on Sunset Avenue. Surveillance cameras in the vicinity were off during the theft. Thursday, 21:30 – A silver Nissan Skyline GT-R, one of only a handful registered in San Andreas, was lifted directly from the driveway of a Rockford Hills estate. The tracking device system, according to investigators, was deactivated at around that time. The thefts have raised questions about the increasing sophistication of criminal operations in the city and have prompted renewed calls for enhanced anti-theft technology and greater inter-agency coordination. “High-end vehicles are attractive targets because they fetch top dollar in underground export markets,” said local criminologist Dr. Ray Gorman. “But this spree indicates something more—possibly a custom order job or the work of an upstart syndicate making a name for itself.” Residents are urged to secure their vehicles, install additional anti-theft measures, and report any suspicious activity immediately. The LSPD has launched a special task force and is collaborating with FIB cybercrime experts to track the perpetrators. As of press time, no arrests have been made.
