L.A. Noire Guide › Street Crimes › Traffic

6: Amateur Hour

KGPL requests any unit to help with a 459 (burglary). Possible suspects are inside Sillman’s Jewelry Store at 829 South Olive.

Objectives

  • Subdue the armed suspects.
  • Assist Detective Bekowsky.
  • Apprehend the female suspect.

Fail Conditions

  • Female robber is injured before she tries to escape.
  • Phelps or Bekowsky dies.

Time Available: 20:00—04:00

Drive to the crime scene.

When you reach Sillman’s Jewelry Store , a cut-scene shows crooks in the process of breaking into the store’s safe. A woman stands over the nervous safecracker as if her hovering will speed the tedious job. You arrive on the scene as guards take positions inside the building. Just before the raid begins, the crooks spot your team and then scatter, and the female crook kneels on the floor before the large entry hole and surrenders.

Subdue the armed suspects.

The store is dark, but your clip-on flashlight helps you find your way around (it turns on automatically in insufficient light). Step through the hole in the wall and ignore the surrendering woman. Do not shoot this suspect; she must live. Head toward the only red blip appearing on the mini-map and take cover behind the left side of the doorway. The first gunman takes cover behind a counter in the Jewelry showroom.

When he pops up to fire, gun him down. Or, when he goes back for cover, place a well-aimed bullet in his exposed cranium.

Second floor tactics.

Enter the showroom and walk backward up the stairs slowly while in the aiming stance. Look for two red blips to appear on the mini-map ahead of you on the second floor. Walk up the stairs slowly so you can cover from enemy fire by simply walking back down the stairs—using the actual second floor for cover. Shoot the two men behind the display cabinet at the front of the store on the second floor. If you don’t see them, shoot the glass away until you do.

Assist Detective Bekowsky.

With the gunmen on the upper floor dead, return to the hole in the back wall on the first floor. You’ll find the female prisoner stepping over Bekowsky’s unconscious body while escaping back through the hole to the rear parking lot.

Apprehend the female suspect.

Take a few shots at her as she tries to escape using the nearby vehicle. If you can’t get a bead on her, don’t worry; she collides with an alley wall a short distance away. Approach the wrecked vehicle and make your arrest.
