Imperial Star Syndicate/Operations

(This article includes all ISS operations or “heists”)

“Car theft operation at night at piriya.”

The ISS planned 5-8 months to hit a luxury car dealership in piriya as it is a much bigger city than tiberias, they planned carefully, acquiring floor plans, car models, and learning how to hot-wire incase the keys can’t be located. During the operation. They moved In at night, making sure there was no people in the shop, the 4 men sent were experienced, they cut off power temporarily, lock-picked the back doors, and entered shop, then they spent approximately 5 min looking for keys, if keys can’t be found, they just hot-wire the car. They stole 4 luxury cars from the dealership, unnoticed (until when shop opens) and drove them to a certain location (most likely a dock) and loaded up the cars into container vessels for the BM operators. For that 1 car that can’t be sold, they dismantled it in a secret garage and carefully picked dealers who are interested in buying car parts on the Black Market.

“ATM card heist”

The ISS planned and made around 100+ plastic ATM cards (which are plastic cards with some electronic bits in them. They decided to hit piriya since there was a lot of ATM’s and it’s a large city. Each was tasked with withdrawing around $500 - $800. On the day of the operation, some “idiot” members: got their card wet, can’t locate ATM, forget where they are. Didn’t know what they were suppose to do, mixed up stuff etc... some, but very few cards got stuck inside ATM’s! But others know their objective, take the card, and withdraw an “normal” amount of cash. Overall..... it was a “ok” operation with estimated $120,000 - $300,000 in a 10 day period (This operation tests the strength, coronation and knowing what the goal is of the syndicate)

“Night night jewellery store heist”

In piriya, the ISS has been eyeing on the certain jewellery store, it had expensive gold chains, diamond rings etc... they planned on how to raid the store. At night..... The plan was to just “smash and grab” but the store’s security system was too tight, the cases are probably smash proof, so they planned for the next 5 months on how to hit the store........ The “new” plan was to raid it at night around 4am. Cut the store’s electrical supply, and get some experienced lock picker to do the rest, bag the goods and flee.

On the day of the operation, things went kinda south. The electrical box’s wires were cut, the store’s security system was down but it also cutted electricity To around 5 different households near the store. The lock was tough and needed 5 min to be picked, when inside. The cases had to be each individually picked and costed around 30 min to crack some cases, and almost an hour to crack the safe in manager’s office.

Overall: around $450,000 Of expensive jewellery and cash was stolen, the “operatives” got away, and the police found out how they did it, by cutting the electricity and lock picking everything else

“Bank robbery” (24 Oct 2020)

The ISS had a portion of its “military” and some other people (who has experience with crime and heists) to take part in the operation, the plan was simple, to hit a piriya bank, and escape to one of their locations. they bought in pistols and modified uzis and a industrial grade drill (in a bag), and wore light thread armour (and ski masks)

When the operation happened, the crowd was easy to control, apart from the bank security who fired shots that alarmed the entire neighbourhood. Hostages were taken and time was key, they started to set up the drill then realised it was the wrong drill type. So they scraped looting the vault to looting the accounting offices hoping to get some cash out of ravaging office spaces, and registers at the front.

About 5 minutes have passed and the police showed up in a firefight, about 3 officers were shot and a heister wounded, then 3 minutes passed and the SWAT was coming, they couldn’t wait anymore and bailed into escape in a cargo truck with thick fabric roofing.

A 9 minute driving and shooting occurred as the heisters at the back and the passenger at the front shot at police cars with submachine guns. After taking a risky detour, the truck crashed and the heister’s grabbed weapons and as much cash as they could in bags or stuff as much as possible into their pockets. After 17 minutes of running and hiding, the heisters made it back with around $700 - $2900.

After this incident, the ISS would take cautions about learning about the place they were going to rob Ie, scouting and finding the right equipment, calculate time, escape route, etc.
