LSPD officer arrests a man outside Mission Row Police Station after he stole a patrol car to report his own missing vehicle.

A man in Los Santos was arrested after stealing an LSPD patrol car to report his own missing vehicle.

According to witnesses, the incident began in Strawberry after the man realized his car was gone. Frustrated and desperate for help, he allegedly spotted an unattended police cruiser nearby and decided to drive himself straight to Mission Row Police Station.

Instead of fleeing the scene, the suspect reportedly entered the station and demanded immediate assistance with his stolen car. Officers quickly noticed that he had arrived in a vehicle that did not belong to him.

When asked how he got there, the man allegedly pointed outside and said, “That’s not important right now.”

An LSPD spokesperson later described the case as “the fastest response time in department history.” The suspect now faces several charges, while his own vehicle was reportedly found just two blocks away with the engine still running and NonStopPop FM playing at full volume.
