Lester: "Either we hit a bank in the sticks or we do a store. Which do you like?"
Michael: "Well...A store's usually easier, but I gotta make a big take."
Lester: "Well, gems it is, then. Let's got to Vangelico, buy ourselves an engangement ring."
Lester Crest and Michael De Santa, discussing their heist plans

Casing the Jewel Store is a mission in Grand Theft Auto V, given to Michael De Santa by Lester Crest.

First, Michael has to drive to the Vangelico Jewel Store. Once on location, Lester instructs him to walk in and use a pair of camera-glass to take pictures of the displays, ventilation and alarm system.

Afterwards, the player must drive around the block and go upstairs to the roof via a building in renovation in order to scout for the store's ventilation sources.

Back at the garment factory, Lester sets up a planning board and offers two ways to execute the heist to Michael : 

Choosing the loud approach will unlock the following setup mission :

  • Carbine Rifles

Choosing the smart approach will unlock the following setup missions :

  • Bugstars Equipment
  • BZ Gas Grenades

Crew

The following characters are available to complete Michael, Lester and Franklin's crew.

Driver
  • Eddie Toh (If chosen, he'll give directions and bring dirt bikes, making it easier to drive in the tunnels)
  • Karim Denz (If chosen, he won't give directions while escaping, he will have to stop inside the tunnels to get his bearings, and the bikes you will drive won't handle well in the mud)
Gunman
  • Gustavo Mota (If chosen, he won't drop any diamonds and won't crash his bike. He'll also competently keep the customers in check if the loud approach is taken)
  • Norm Richards (If chosen, he misses and drops a lot of diamonds bringing down your maximum take and will crash his dirtbike when going in the tunnels adding casualty expenses. It is however possible for Franklin to grab his bag while riding over it.)
  • Patrick McReary (Only if you've completed his Random Encounter. If chosen, he won't drop any diamonds and won't crash his bike. He'll also competently keep the customers in check if the loud approach is taken)
Hacker
  • Paige Harris (If chosen, you will have 90 seconds to grab the jewels)
  • Christian Feltz (If chosen, you will have 60 seconds to grab the jewels)
  • Rickie Luckens (If chosen, you will only have 30 seconds to grab all the jewels)

For maximum cash, the best choice is Karim Denz for the driver, Rickie Luckens for the hacker, and Norm Richards for the gunman, although players must ensure they collect Richards' loot after he is killed. Alternatively, selecting Patrick McReary for the gunman ensures a good take without the need to collect any fallen money. Either route will net over $1.2M for Michael.

Trivia

  • At the beginning of the mission, Michael says that there need to be a crew, stating that he could "round up some of the old guys". Lester tells him there there are no old guys. After he mentions some of the old crew members, he also mentions an Eastern European guy who was "making moves in Liberty City". This is a reference to Niko Bellic, the protagonist of GTA IV. This is the only time he is mentiond in GTA V, with the exception of Packie McReary referencing him about his jobs with Niko.
