Learn how to case the Vangelico Jewel Store, photograph security features, and choose the best crew for the heist in Grand Theft Auto VI. Includes tips for a 100% score.

This section covers the initial setup for the Vangelico Heist in Grand Theft Auto VI, including casing the store and selecting your crew.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After speaking with Lester, head to the Vangelico Jewel Store in Rockford Hills to scope it out.
  2. 2
    You'll receive special glasses with a camera. Use them to photograph the security features: the alarm system, ventilation, and cameras. These are located near the front doors.
  3. 3
    After photographing the security features, speak with the Shop Assistant and then leave the store.
  4. 4
    Next, drive to the southeast corner of the block to a construction area. Climb to the roof and locate the main ventilation system on the north side.
  5. 5
    The ventilation system is behind a walled area with razor wire. Find a vantage point on a lower rooftop to the north and climb up to get the required picture.
  6. 6
    Return to the Garment Factory.
  7. 7
    Choose your approach and crew for the heist. Recommended crew members for a Balanced Crew approach are:
    • Driver: Eddie Toh (for dirtbikes and route knowledge)
  8. 8
    Gunman: Packie McReary (reliable and experienced)
  9. 9
    Hacker: Rickie Lukens (cheapest option, sufficient for the task)
  10. 10
    After making your final crew selections, the mission is successfully completed.
Tips
  • Equip Suppressors on your Pistol and Micro SMG and stock up on ammo (1,000+ rounds) before starting this mission, as it's beneficial for upcoming missions.
  • Consider completing the "Getaway Driver" Random Event to unlock Packie McReary as a potential crew member.

100% Score Requirements:

  • Time (8:00): Crew selection does not count towards this objective. The mission ends upon returning to the factory.
  • Picture Perfect: Capture all three security features (alarm system, ventilation, cameras) in a single photograph. This can be achieved near the front doors, even if you've photographed other features elsewhere.

A. Bugstars Equipment (The Smart Approach) - Setup Mission

  1. You will be tasked with stealing and delivering a Bugstars Van to the Garment Factory.
  2. Approach the Bugstars business from the west (backside).
  3. Use Stealth Mode to sneak up behind the employee near the van and pistol-whip them silently.
  4. Quickly get into the van and back out.
  5. Drive the van back to the Garment Factory to complete the mission.
  • This mission is a setup for the Vangelico Heist. Specific monetary rewards are not detailed in this section.
