GTA V Store Heists: How To Rob Stores

This GTA V Store Heists Guide will detail all there is for the players to know to perform a successful store heist in GTA V to avoid problems with police.

In GTA 5, you can rob stores across Los Santos to make a little extra cash. There is a total of 19 stores that you can hold up and unlike the main mission heists, do not require any sort of setup. Some of them even have multiple cash registers, doubling your take.

In this guide, we’ll go over all the stores you can rob in GTA V, including their location and potential take. Additionally, we’ll also be discussing several tips to make sure your criminal endeavors are always successful.

How to rob stores in GTA V

For a successful robbery, enter the store, walk up to the counter, and whip out a gun to point at the clerk.

When you do this, one of three things will happen; the clerk will either pull out a gun of their own, they’ll comply with your demands right away, or they’ll refuse to move (in which case you need to fire a warning shot elsewhere to let him know that you’re serious).

When the clerk finally complies, they’ll start filling a grocery bag with the money in the register. During this time, you do not need to keep the gun pointed at them.

Look around the counter for a second register if there is one. If there is, you want to shoot it to crack it open when the clerk is finished filling your bag.

Remember that once the bag is full or upon shooting the second cash register, you receive a one-star wanted level. Grab the moolah and run out of the store, whereupon you receive another star, giving you a two-star wanted level. Now it’s just a matter of evading the police.
