In Grand Theft Auto V, there are two random events in which the objective is to become involved in arrests. Both events require you to make a decision: help the officer or help the criminal. These random events do not have to be completed in order, and they are unlocked for all characters after finishing the Mr. Philips mission.

Steps

Getting Involved in the Grapeseed Arrest

Travel to Grapeseed. The arrest will take place on a farm near the O’Neil house, southwest of a base jump location. If the event is happening, two dots will show up on your map: a blue one and a red one. You will see a police officer chasing after a criminal.

Kill the criminal or kill the officer. If you decide to kill the criminal, you should do so by running over him with a vehicle or performing melee attacks. Any other method of killing him will result in you receiving a two-star wanted level. If you kill the police officer instead, any method you use to kill him will give you a three-star wanted level. There is no reward for helping the police officer. The criminal will give you $250 for helping him. The event will be incomplete if the officer manages to catch the criminal.

Lose your wanted level if you have one; otherwise, leave the area to complete the event. To get rid of your wanted level, escape in a vehicle and drive away from any police officers you see on your minimap. They will appear on your minimap as blue and red flashing dots, and their line of sight is represented by blue cones. Once you are out of their line of sight, find a place to hide until your wanted level is gone. The event will be considered complete when you’re away from the area and no longer have a wanted level.

Involving Yourself in the Arrest at the Wind Farm

Travel to the Ron Alternates Wind Farm. This event is located next to the Senora Freeway, west of the Davis Quartz quarry. You will see a blue dot and a red dot, which represents the officer and criminal, if the random event is available.

Help the officer or the criminal. To help the officer, kill the criminal. Killing the criminal by any means other than melee attacks or running over them in a vehicle will raise your wanted level to two-stars. Alternatively, you can help the criminal by killing the police officer. This will raise your wanted level to three-stars regardless of how you kill the officer. The reward for helping the criminal is $250. The police officer will not reward you for killing the criminal. Ensure that you kill either of them before the officer captures the criminal. If he does, the event will not be considered complete.

Leave the location of the event, and get rid of your wanted level (if applicable). Drive off in a vehicle quickly to lower your wanted level. Evade the police by staying out of their line of sight, which is indicated by blue cones emitting from blue and red blips on your radar. When you are far enough away from them and out of their sight, stay hidden until you’ve lost your wanted level. Once your wanted level is gone and you are away from the event’s location, it will be complete.
