The Skinheads, also known as Dealers from game files, are a small-time gang in Grand Theft Auto IV. They are depicted as low-level drug peddlers, car thieves, and thugs. Some have serious drug habits. They dress in typical skinhead attire, a combination Doc Martin-style boots, tight t-shirts, jeans with suspenders, and bomber jackets. They are most commonly found in North Holland, Purgatory, and Star Junction. Known members include Jimmy Kand and Marty Boldenow.
They appear to have a working relationship with the Petrovic Bratva and the Yardies. In the online multiplayer game Mafiya Work, they operate as low level drug pushers for Kenny Petrovic, as well as car thieves in Car Jack City. Their relationship with the Yardies is demonstrated by Marty Boldenow's association with them, as well as the car theft missions for Brucie; in one mission, where Niko is required to pick up a Feltzer, a Skinhead is seen dealing with a Jamaican. They can also be seen on the streets of Beechwood City talking to Jamaicans. Marty Boldenow is also protected by members of the Jamaican Mafia, armed with AK-47's.
They don't appear to be a very organized or disciplined gang. Many members appear to be drug addicts. Jimmy Kand and his cronies appear to be addicted to heroin, and in TLAD, when Johnny Klebitz picks up Ashley from the projects, he has to take out few skinheads hooked on methamphetamine.
They may also appear during the mission Industrial Action. They often compete in cage fights in TBOGT.
Influence
Rather than being based on neo-Nazi Skinheads, the Skinheads in Liberty City don't seem to have any racist undertones. They appear to be on good terms with the Jamaicans. This seems akin to early Skinheads in the UK; working-class youth who were heavily influenced by the Jamaican rudeboy subculture. However, there could be a faction of skinheads that are at least anti-gay, as Bernie Crane has had problems with at least one bigoted Skinhead.

Trivia
- One of the pins they wear is the logo of a Manhunt gang, the Smileys. Also, some of their tops or jackets have the logo of another Manhunt gang, the Monkeys.
- Despite being involved a few times within the storyline, they are not really a gang in the files, rather they are special "dealer" pedestrians. Due to this, they don't have any weapons, nor do they drive unique vehicles. The same goes for the Dominican Gang.
- A Skinhead street gang might have been cut from GTA San Andreas, due to the fact that sometimes when killing pedestrians in the game, CJ might shout "Die you Skinhead pricks!". However, this might just show that Carl sees the pedestrians he's attacking as racists.
