The briefing

The police guide describes six wanted stars alongside remembered information about appearance, clothing, vehicles, weapons, CCTV and companions. Hollow stars indicate a reported crime without a useful identification; red stars and hot areas represent continuing local attention after the immediate chase.

Escaping therefore involves both breaking pursuit and reducing identifying clues. A different vehicle, outfit or hairstyle can invalidate particular information, and splitting Jason and Lucia is reported to reduce their joint visibility. Focus can help locate nearby officers. The precise star thresholds and duration of each search remain unreleased, so this is a preview guide rather than a tested escape exploit.
