	Holding up a convenience store is one of the easiest ways to make small amounts of money in GTA V. Robbing a convenience store typically yields between $400-$950, but if the player kills the clerk before he empties the register it only nets between $120-$240. Robbing a convenience store may be performed by entering either a [[LTD]] filling station, a [[24/7\|24/7 Supermarket]] or a [[Rob's Liquor Store]] (found in many locations in [[Los Santos in GTA V\|Los Santos]]) with any of the characters, drawing the players weapon, and aiming it at the store clerk. Some store clerk will submit and he will begin emptying out the register into the contents of a plastic bag. Typically bystanders will run away unless affiliated with a [[Gangs in GTA V\|gang]]. Once the clerk is done, he will throw the plastic bag at the player if they are near the register, or throw it on the ground in front of the register if they are further away. At this point the players wanted level will be raised to one star. Once the player exits the building, the wanted level will be raised to two stars. The player may choose to jump over the counter and shoot at the other register that the clerk did not empty out for an additional $0-$120. The second register can occasionally be empty. Jumping the counter for extra cash can be risky as it allows the [[LSPD in GTA V\|police]] to cover much more ground during this time, but can be worth it if the player is comfortable with escaping the area.

	Robbing a specific convenience store more than once in a short period can be problematic. If the store clerk recognizes the player he will either run away or pull out a shotgun, causing a ''failed'' robbery attempt. This usually requires that the player kill the clerk or allow him to run. His identifying the player can be combated by switching characters or outfits. When the player fails a robbery attempt, they can still get money from the convenience store, but the player must hop the counter and shoot the registers until cash pops out. This typically at ''most'' will yield $300.		Robbing a specific convenience store more than once in a short period can be problematic.

	'''Armed robbery''' can be performed in three different ways in [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. A player can rob an [[NPC]] at a number of [[ATM]] locations, rob a convenience store ~~([[LTD Gas Station]])~~, or rob an [[~~Armored Truck~~]]. An armed robbery can net a player between [[Money\|$]]12-$8,000 depending on what or whom they rob. As the armed robbery cash reward increases, the opportunity to perform the armed robbery decreases. On average, NPC robbing can be done an unlimited amount in a day, convenience store robbing can be done about 3-5 times a day, and armored trucks only when found (around once a day/two days).

	Robbing an [[Armored Truck]] requires swift action once you see the event marker. When an armored truck is available to be robbed, your mini map will quickly flash and a blue dot will show up. Your response time to robbing an armored truck could mean the difference between a swift getaway and a 10 minute chase across the city. The goal of robbing an armored truck is to get the metal briefcase where the money is stored. Armored trucks always have two guards with body armor and (at least) pistols. Any acts of aggression towards the guards or the truck is equivalent to an attack on the police. If you react quickly enough, you may get to the armored truck as one of the guards is walking the briefcase to the truck. Kill this guard, kill the other guard if you see them, grab the briefcase, and get back into your getaway car.		Robbing an [[Armored Truck]] requires swift action once you see the event marker.

	If the briefcase has already been put into the back of the armored truck, but the guards have not gotten into the armored truck, there is still a chance to get the briefcase easily. Get out of your car, and quickly attack one of the guards before they enter the truck. Once you engage one of the guards, the other one will attempt to engage you in combat instead of driving away. Once they have been neutralized, take a high caliber automatic weapon (NOT the shotgun as many have suggested) and shoot in the middle of the door handles on the back of the truck. 15-20 shots should open the back, flinging the briefcase out with it. Pick up the briefcase and make your getaway.

	If both of the guards are back in the truck there is little hope in getting to the briefcase but it is very fun to try. Unfortunately, this is the only way to engage a roaming armored truck. You may shoot the back of the truck to open it and get the briefcase, but it is important to make sure you get in well-placed shots before the truck drives away. Again, attacking an armored truck or its guards automatically raises your wanted level to 2 and will make them flee. Armored trucks are incredibly difficult to pursue, and require a ''very'' fast car to even keep up with them, let alone fire at the sweet spot on the doors. The trucks have the ramming energy of a concrete mixer, so stopping them with force or PIT maneuvering is nearly impossible. The only way deal with them is to run them off the road or into a tree/building/wall. Once you do this and are sure that they won't be moving anymore, shoot the back of the truck quickly and engage the guards if necessary. If you think they may keep moving, stay in your car and shoot at the back in drive-by mode.

If the briefcase has already been put into the back of the armored truck, but the guards have not gotten into the armored truck, there is still a chance to get the briefcase easily. Get out of your car, and quickly attack one of the guards before they enter the truck. Once you engage one of the guards, the other one will attempt to engage you in combat instead of driving away. Once they have been neutralized, take a high caliber automatic weapon (NOT the shotgun as many have suggested) and shoot in the middle of the door handles on the back of the truck. 15-20 shots should open the back, flinging the briefcase out with it. Pick up the briefcase and make your getaway.

			=== Pursuing an Armored Truck ===
	If both of the guards are back in the truck there is little hope in getting to the briefcase but it is very fun to try. Unfortunately, this is the only way to engage a roaming armored truck. You may shoot the back of the truck to open it and get the briefcase, but it is important to make sure you get in well-placed shots before the truck drives away. Again, attacking an armored truck or its guards automatically raises your wanted level to 2 and will make them flee. Armored trucks are incredibly difficult to pursue, and require a ''very'' fast car to even keep up with them, let alone fire at the sweet spot on the doors. The trucks have the ramming energy of a concrete mixer, so stopping them with force or PIT maneuvering is nearly impossible. The only way deal with them is to run them off the road or into a tree/building/wall. Once you do this and are sure that they won't be moving anymore, shoot the back of the truck quickly and engage the guards if necessary. If you think they may keep moving, stay in your car and shoot at the back in drive-by mode.
