Drive to the crime scene.

When you arrive at the bank at 253 Main Street , an officer reports that two guys made off with about 10 grand in a paper sack. The drunken bum claims he witnessed the robbers’ escape and points to the nearby parking lot.

Pursue the suspects.

After the cinematic, you and your partner run to the nearby parking lot to find the robbers breaking into a Cadillac. You commandeer a nearby Voisin C7, which can more than hold its own against the suspects’ car.

The robbers begin their escape by speeding out of the parking lot and heading south on Spring St. They immediately veer right into another parking lot to try to lose you in a nearby alley.

Stay close so your partner can take his shots. Drive directly behind the fleeing vehicle. Don’t try to get beside the suspect; the alleyways are too narrow.

Out of the first set of alleyways, the robbers turn right onto 4th St and remain there just long enough to cut into the next alley on the right. When they exit this alley, you have a great chance to slam into the left side of their vehicle as they turn sharply to the left onto Olive.

Apprehend the suspects.

This collision opportunity arises again as they snake to the right, then to the left, through the next two intersections. These three back-to-back opportunities are usually more than enough to allow you to stop the vehicle and make your arrest. If not, you can follow them off the embankment on 4th Street, jumping over Flower St. Upon landing, all sorts of vital car parts are lost, along with any chance for them to escape. Make the arrest.
