The Grand Theft Auto (GTA) Unit prosecutes auto theft and carjacking
Vehicle theft is one of the most costly property crimes and remains an epidemic throughout the United States. In addition to handling individual cases investigated by local law enforcement, the GTA Unit also works actively with the Riverside Auto Theft Interdiction Detail (R.A.I.D.), a multi-agency task force comprised of various Riverside law enforcement agencies, as well as the California Department of Insurance.
