For GTA Online, Rockstar’s specific advice is to use tunnels around Los Santos to evade pursuing police. If you would rather skip the getaway, you can pay Lester to remove your wanted level. In GTA V, stealth makes movement quieter, but the official Xbox help does not say that stealth alone clears active wanted stars.
Escape police yourself in GTA Online
Head for tunnels around Los Santos while police are pursuing you. Rockstar recommends tunnels as a way to lose even persistent pursuers in its GTA Online Starter Tips. The tip does not specify a particular tunnel, route, timing, or guaranteed success rate, so use the tunnels as an evasion option rather than a fixed step-by-step method.

Remove a GTA Online wanted level through Lester
If you do not want to evade the police yourself, Rockstar says Lester can remove a wanted level for a fee, as described in the same GTA Online Starter Tips. The cited guidance does not state the fee or eligibility requirements.
| Option | What it does | Known trade-off |

| Ask Lester | Remove the wanted level for a fee. | Costs money; the cited tip does not state the amount. |
What stealth does in GTA V
The Xbox Grand Theft Auto V game help describes a wanted level of one to five stars and says the Stealth stat makes movement quieter. It also documents entering stealth mode. These details can help you move less noisily, but the help does not say that stealth by itself removes an active wanted level. See the GTA V game help for its Xbox-specific guidance.
