After leaving the military, Trevor turned to a life of crime. He met Michael De Santa during a robbery, and the two formed a partnership. Their criminal activities included bank heists and other high-stakes operations. However, their partnership ended after a failed heist in Ludendorff, North Yankton, which resulted in Michael faking his death.
