Van Heist

Van Heist is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III, given to protagonist Claude by Joey Leone from his garage in Trenton, Portland Island, Liberty City.

Mission
Claude goes to Joey's garage in Trenton and Joey explains that they are planning to hit a Securicar pay role van. Joey instructs Claude to find a vehicle and ram the van until the driver bails. Joey then instructs Claude to take the van to a warehouse in Portland Harbor where some guys will get to the cash. When the mission begins, the Securicar is on the move on the edge of Chinatown. Claude then locates and damages the Securicar, chasing it until the driver exits the vehicle (when the damage meter is filled). Claude then drives the vehicle to the garage in Portland Harbor.

Script
Joey Leone: Alright, we're gonna hit the pay role van. It leaves the edge of Chinatown everyday. Bullets won't even dent the van's armor, so get a car and ram it off the road. Now hit it hard and the punk ass security guard should bail. Then take it to the warehouse at the docks and my guys are gonna take over from there. Now it won't be doin' its rounds all day, so don't hang around.

Reward
The reward for completing the mission is $20,000 and the unlocking of two missions: Cipriani's Chauffeur and Turismo. In addition, the garage used to stash the Securicar in "Van Heist" may receive additional Securicars thereafter, with payouts for every additional Securicar delivered decreased by $500 until the player may no longer receive any more money.
