Cleanup Initiative
2nd April, 1905
WEAPON SMUGGLERS UNDER ARREST
After months of speeches, Major Ettore D'Amico has finally shown there is substance behind his promise to crack down on crime. In the early hours of Tuesday morning, D’Amico led a raid on a farmhouse just outside of Porto Almaro.
Here, several men involved in the smuggling of weapons were apprehended. During a speech made on the steps of San Celeste Town Hall, D'Amico boasted this is ‘just one part’ of a wider cleanup initiative, precipitated by ‘a wave of crime that has left Valle Dorata feeling lawless, with unsolved murders, widespread robberies and a police force that has lost control.’
D'Amico intimated that the arrested men may have been part of a larger criminal enterprise, but refused to give further details.
