"Cops and Robbers" is a single by the UK Indie Band The Hoosiers. It was their fourth single to be released from their debut album, The Trick to Life. It was first made available to download through the album which was released on 22 October 2007. The single was physically released on 21 April 2008 as confirmed by the band on tour. The song has been heavily criticised for its remarkable similarities to "The Lovecats" by The Cure.[1]

The first showing of the video was on Channel 4, on 22 March 2008. The video was shot at Dickens World, directed by the directing duo Diamond Dogs (aka Phil Sansom and Olly Williams) and is set in London in the 1800s.

Before the game was released this information was released on this website: " Cops and Robbers will feature in the game Grand Theft Auto IV ". However now the game has been released, the song is not found on the GTA IV game. This said it may feature in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV epsisodic packs, released later this year.
