Sharks in GTA Vice City

The Sharks is a gang of thugs in GTA Vice City that hang out around outside the North Point Mall and in several dilapidated mansions in Prawn Island, but are hardly a threat to any of the other gangs in Vice City. It is suggested that they are involved in arms and drug running. They apparently are on bad terms with Mitch Baker's Biker Gang and in one mission they even steal his prized motorcycle and store it in a motor garage in Downtown, Vice City. The leader of the gang (name unknown) betrays Ricardo Diaz and steals his shipment of drugs, with Diaz ordering Tommy Vercetti to kill him and many other members in an aerial assault).

The Sharks in GTA Vice City Stories are located in the east island of Vice City; they manage a number of rackets, which Victor Vance eventually takes over. The Sharks do not back down in attacking Victor until all of their businesses have been taken. Often, they chase Victor in their Gang Ranchers and sometimes attempt to destroy his empire sites.

They are listed as the "Streetwannabe's," with use of the apostrophe, in the Vice City stats, but the Shark logos on the back of their denim jackets, along with graffiti on buildings and their gang cars, has led some to call them the Sharks. The Streetwannabes are mostly seen wearing denim jackets, jeans and red bandanas. In GTA Vice City Stories, they are seen wearing brightly coloured shirts, light brown or grey pants and berets.

Of interesting note is that certain unrelated gangs in Vice City are also listed as Streetwannabes. This includes army soldiers and "gangs" that show up in certain missions, such as the Forellis in the final mission, the attackers in the All Hands on Deck! mission, and the courier and bodyguards of a counterfeiting syndicate in the Hit the Courier mission.
