Car Chase

Once the detective locates the thief's hideout within the city, it's time to make the arrest. Unfortunately, the thief will not give up easily. A car chase ensues, after which the criminal is invariably caught.

The chase itself is represented by a little gangster-type car making it's way across the computer screen, followed by a little, old-fashioned paddy-wagon full of cops.
