The Great Raid of Póla

The **Great Raid of Póla** was a coordinated effort by several international and Commonwealth police forces to arrest members of several Póla crime organizations, including the infamous Póla Trust on the 13th of May 2023. The attack was led by Moczarne constable CK\_Wagner but as the initial raid was unsuccessful international police forces arrived not much after. The Great Raid resulted in the apprehension of several prominent figures associated with organized crime, however, most of them were either released by Póla city authorities or escaped imprisonment. The raid developed into an open battle between Póla mobsters and police forces hence the raid is also referred to in Póla as "The Great Chaos".

## Background

The local police force in Moczarne had been receiving reports of illegal alcohol production and distribution in the region for some time. However, due to the Póla Trust's influence, it was challenging to gather evidence and conduct raids on the illegal breweries.

The police force, with the help of United Nations intelligence assets, eventually uncovered several illegal breweries in the region. The breweries were well hidden and difficult to access, but the police were able to gather enough evidence to link them to the Póla Trust. They discovered that the organization was using several front companies to disguise their activities and launder their profits. They also uncovered evidence of bribery and corruption involving local officials and police officers.

Realizing that the organization was much larger than they had originally thought, the Moczarne police force decided to contact other police forces to coordinate a large-scale raid on the Póla Trust in Póla. They reached out to other Commonwealth police departments, as well as international partners. The other police forces were eager to help, as they had also been impacted by The Póla Trust's criminal activities.

## The Raid

The Boerer Club, a notorious meeting place for the criminal underworld in Póla, was the target of a raid. However, the initial attempt failed, as only Moczarne forces showed up.

As the CK\_Wagner arrived on the scene in full gear he had decided to take on a "no-knock" approach by digging into the walls of the club and attempting to surprise the criminals from there. However, he was noticed by guests at the pub and several members of The Trust as well as other criminal organizations have opened fire on the constable. As there was currently a gunfight going on in the club the number of armed mobsters present was higher than usual.

Initially, a stalemate formed and the policeman called for reinforcements. Not long after The\_Arny\_Lovag arrived with proper siege equipment forcing the mobsters to flee to the streets of Póla where the gunfight continued. As other international forces arrived the mobsters were forced to fall back. Several of them were shot, or arrested. The prominent crime boss "Big Hen" of "The Wario Crew" was also arrested however several unknown actors threw bombs at the police force interrogating him at the entrance of the justice palace, resulting in his escape and significant damage in the Justice Palace.

## Aftermath

After the raid on the Boerer Club and subsequent gunfight, many mobsters were arrested. However, much to the dismay of the Moczarne police force, most of them were set free by the Póla authorities. The mayor of Póla, Henryk Wieniawsky, publicly denounced the actions of the police and blamed them for upsetting public order.

The mayor's stance was supported by many in the Póla public, who viewed the police as a foreign intervention and believed that their actions had done more harm than good. This sentiment was further fueled by the press, which portrayed the international forces as an overly aggressive invading force.
