You may be looking for store Robberies committed by the player.
Not even brick-and-mortar establishments are safe from the rising crime wave as desperate thieves are targeting stores around LS for an easy payday. Interrupt a Shop Robbery by chasing down the backpacked burglar and taking them out. From there, return the stolen cash or keep it for yourself.”
Shop Robberies are a Random Event in Grand Theft Auto Online, added in the continuation of the Los Santos Drug Wars update during Eclipse Blvd Garage Week on 16th February, 2023.
Description[]
The event can trigger at a randomly selected shop as soon as a Free Mode session has been active for longer than 20 minutes. All GTA Online Protagonists within 100 meters of the chosen store may hear the shop alarm ringing and a red dot {{HUDIcons||red
The player can choose to chase down the robber. The robber appears to have Body Armor and has increased resilience to damage compared to normal NPCs[1]. Headshots [2] are effective though. Homing missiles on weaponized vehicles will target the robber.
While pursuing the robber, normal wanted level rules are in force, so causing civilian damage or casualties may incur wanted stars. This will not prevent the continuation of the event and the player will still be able to keep pursuing the robber while evading law enforcement themselves.
The robber will follow a pre-defined path and eventually stop in a nearby spot and fight back armed with a Combat Pistol.
Once the player takes the robber down, he will drop his weapon and the backpack, which will be marked on the map as Stolen Goods with a blue dot {{HUDIcons||blue

within the time limit to earn a reward, or choose to keep it for yourself.As soon as the cash is picked up, a two-minute timer will appear. The player can choose to keep the cash or return it to the store within the time limit for a "Good Samaritan" bonus of 2500RP and $20,000 cash and the Good Samaritan Award. If the player has wanted stars when returning the cash, they will still be wanted when the player respawns outside the shop. If the player that collected the Stolen Goods is killed (by a rival player, Police, or by accident) before they have returned it to the shop, the killed player simply re-spawns as normal, with the stolen cash still in their possession and the timer still counting down.
If the player has not returned the cash after the timer expires, they will keep $25,000 but will immediately incur a new two-star wanted level.
There is a 20 minute cooldown after completion or de-activation before another robbery can be triggered.
Locations[]
There are 25 possible locations to encounter the robbery in progress. Unlike the Robberies the player can commit themselves, locations are not limited to Convenience Stores, Gas Stations and Liquor Stores, but can also take place at Clothing Stores, Tattoo Parlors and Barbers.
