STREETS OF RAGE
Volk Deathsquad kills 7 Banger street gang members, destroys HQ, escapes!
Submitted by: Alain Prost
What led to the massacre over at Slummer's End was immediately made clear as a singular Death Squad member, presumably hopped up on the infamous Volk combat drug Vrezyma made waves as they made short work of several prominent members of the gang. Several mercenaries attempted to assist but unfortunately this Death Squad member was a one man army. Several samples detected by our MetroNews droids indicate a variety of ammunition being fired, .45, .12 ga, .50 Beowulf but none seem to have significantly damaged this one member. Some speculate this may have been a wake-up call for the gangs not to forget that despite the Volk's diminishing interest in Taihaku and infamous members such as Dmitry Belusov's departure from the gang, doesn't mean they're all but neutered. MetroNews reporters have gathered a few interviews from the victims of these attacks and this is what they have to say;
"So, was this an unprovoked attack from the Volk, or did you know anything about this?" A reporter questioned a Banger Lieutenant, who wished to remain unnamed for this interview. He responds, "No. This was some bullshit attack. They're powerful, but together we're stronger than those motherfuckers. We're gonna fuck them up to the last, and they better hope they got more of those assholes coming, cause we're gonna fucking hang those commie fucks by our lampposts round here for what they did to us!"
The reporter pressed on with another question, "How will the loss of your headquarters affect the Bangers and Nightriders?" He shakes his head, "Lost a lotta brothers. Big Ton. Lucky T. They all died in there, not to mention the countless other homies we've lost. I'll say it honest, it was just a building, and they knew the risks, you'feel me? But we ain't going to let no red-dressed fucker past here without a bullet in 'em!"
Another man, who was seen assisting the Bangers was asked to comment. This is his response:
"Why'd you help the Bangers?" The reporter questioned the man, to which he responds, "I don't like any of the gangs. But the Volk are a menace. They're too big for their own good, and frankly I don't like to be under the yoke of power-hungry Eurasians."
ASF EMTs and coroners were dispatched to immediately clean the scene. Another long night for the city of Taihaku.
HIGH PROFILE BANK ROBBED
Suspects armed with high-powered weaponry escape relatively unscathed
Submitted by: Alain Prost
A Bank of Aetherstone at Sendai, Americatown was robbed for an estimated total of 50,000 credits or more, as several men disguised initially managed to fool bank employees and guards until it was too late. While one accomplice was preemptively discovered, it proved to be a fruitless exercise as they managed to conceal high powered rifles, sub-machineguns and prompted the ASF SRT to be deployed, even deploying a RAPAX Mk. 1. NPA officials have completely denounced their lax actions against these criminals, though public opinion was skewed towards the ASF as they managed to extract a number of hostages. The RAPAX stalked the group, but was disabled by one of the robbers' high powered weapons, rendering it slow despite it managing to damage one of the masked men escaping the scene.
Some other groups suspect these are simply terrorists, hailing from either the True Humans wishing to fund their terrorist efforts to even speculations these are Volk members wishing to regain some foothold into Japan after losing ground. Regardless, the ASF ultimately deemed this as a failure, marking badly for the command staff at the ASF.
Interviews were conducted by several staff, with most of them responding about how even if they initially seemed like a belligerent gang of misfits, they still managed to escape ASF custody, noting that they 'played it smart' and it seemed like 'it was all part of their plan'. Authorities are still looking for the perpetrators, but since their security cameras were hacked and records wiped clean, it seemed like there wasn't a lot of leads in this case. Speculation whether this will turn cold run rampant. Despite the push for law and order in recent years, it seems like it isn't the most reliable source of self defense.
