Steal from armored cars and get decent cash weekly in GTA 5.
You can expect any Grand Theft Auto game to have a thievery theme. Heck, the franchise even has the word on the title itself. GTA 5 is no exception – acts of theft are not confined to the main storyline missions only, as there are Random Events that allow you to steal from various sources around the map for a quick buck.
One of these Random Events is the Security Van Random Events that recur regularly around the game. Hunt down and steal from these Security Vans roaming around the city and get decent cash. This Random Event gives out one of the largest payouts of any Random Event in-game, so it is important to know where these Security Vans spawn.
We have outlined everything you need to know to steal from Security Vans in GTA 5 in this guide.
What are the security vans in GTA 5?
Security Vans are Random Events that involve armored vehicles that are either parked or driving around Los Santos. These vans carry varying amounts of cash you can collect by blowing open the vans’ rear door or killing guards while they load the money onto the van.
There are ten unique Security Van spawn points around Los Santos, all of which can spawn randomly at any time of the day in-game.
How to steal money from a security van in GTA 5
You’ll typically find security vans driving around town or parked in random locations around the map. Depending on the situation, you will either have to kill the guard while they load the money onto the van or drive alongside it and blow open the rear doors by shooting at them or blowing them up with a Sticky Bomb.
Switch to your Sticky Bomb:
When playing as Franklin, use your Special Ability to slow down time and make aiming easier:
Blow up the rear doors of the Security Vans. Ensure there aren’t any other vehicles near the Security Van when you blow up the doors or risk triggering a chain explosion.
Take out the guards if you have to:
Take the money and run away from the area as quickly as possible. LSPD will be on its way the moment you detonate the Sticky Bomb.
You can get anywhere from $3000-$8000 from a single van, and since these Random Events respawn infinitely in-game, you can get a steady stream of income by hunting down these Security Vans in GTA 5.
