UK police turn a car chase arrest into a GTA VI joke
Derbyshire Police dressed up real pursuit footage with a GTA-style screen and a song from the game.
Derbyshire Police in England have made a GTA VI joke out of a real arrest.
On November 3 the force posted a TikTok of officers chasing a driver through residential streets. It's edited to look like a Grand Theft Auto game, with a five-star wanted level and a game-style map on screen, Dexerto and Attack of the Fanboy report. The music is "Flower in a Hurricane", the Justice track that debuted in GTA VI's Launch Trailer.
The caption opens: "Could've just waited a few more weeks for GTA 6 to drop…" It goes on to joke that he'll spend release day in prison. He was jailed for 14 months for dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, drug-driving and cannabis possession, both outlets report. The force told drivers to "save that stuff for the streets of Vice City", Dexerto reports.
Derbyshire isn't the first. In June, a district attorney's office in Mississippi started adding GTA VI references to its arrest posts, Dexerto notes.
