Update
@everyone Sorry for late ping. Another Quick Update at next restart. Off to bed good night.
# NPC (Locals) can be take as hostages now.
This doesn't relate to the hostage scene, on the F10 menu, taking other players as hostages requires more cops on, but NPC has no cop limit.

## 4.7.1 Kidnapping / Hostage & Small Robberies
### Kidnapping / Hostage-taking, Small robberies (Store, House, ATM, and Bank Truck), and all heists (excluding Merryweather) require the following:
### 1 on-duty LEOs for initiation, a limit of 4 criminals, and a limit of 6 LEOs may respond, this is the taking of your fellow citizens.
### There is no cop limit for taking a local (NPC) hostage.
