Police GTA 6 joke after a real car chase
Short answer: Derbyshire Police in the UK posted a TikTok of a real car chase edited to look like GTA, telling the driver to “save that stuff for the streets of Vice City”. The driver was jailed for 14 months, so he will miss the GTA 6 launch on 19 November, Dexerto and IGN reported on 3 November 2026.
