Crime File: Crook Steals GTA IV, Has Real-world Intro to Jail
Police in San Diego arrested a 27-year-old man yesterday and charged him with robbing a GameStop location, pepper-spraying two employees there and stealing a launch day copy of Grand Theft Auto IV.
Richard Fiel (at left, in the back of a police car) found that it’s tougher to shake real cops than GTA IV’s animated ones and was busted after a short standoff.
In addition to GTA IV, Police found a copy of GTA III and a PlayStation 3 controller in his pickup truck. A San Diego PD spokesperson told the local NBC affiliate:
The call came out as a robbery of a commercial business… and the suspect was described, and the vehicle that he got into was described as a white Toyota pickup truck, lifted with the tailgate down, and our helicopter ABLE spotted the vehicle southbound. The officers followed it.
There was no word on how many police alert stars Fiel’s crime generated.
