Grand Theft Machine V has ever been a game that reflected real-life, despite the applesauce of its plot and characters. In the game, you lot play equally a trio of criminals who get involved with all forms of illegal activities similar trading drugs and weapons. In several ways, GTA V is a bitter commentary on America and offense in general.

It appears that at least one person took the whole being a criminal matter to a whole other level. Forbes was able to become its hands on a example that supports the idea that the Mexican Cartel is using GTA to recruit new members. Last year, Community and Border detained Alyssa Navarro for driving a Jeep Cherokee that had almost 60kg of methamphetamine. Customs and Border defenseless her in Arizona.

The investigation reports that Navarro met a man named "George" while playing Grand Theft Car Online. The two eventually started talking over Snapchat, where George offered her "a lot of money" to bulldoze the Jeep to one of his contacts in Mexico. Navarro claims she idea the task was "strange" but went forth with information technology anyways.

Navarro has been charged with conspiracy to import and sell methamphetamine, also as possession, all of which she pleaded not guilty. Her case may not be unique to her, equally Forbes also reports that there are cases where it seems that other narcotics crews have been recruiting kids through GTA. Either mode, this is a strange instance of life imitating art that is trying to imitate life.
