The War in Sandy Shores was an armed conflict that took place in Stab City and Sandy Shores from 21st to 24th of January 2022, after the Lost MC created People's Republic of Sandy Shores and attempt to secede from the State of San Andreas.
Background[]
Concerned about the increased crimes in Sandy Shores in past week and a public declaration of PRSS' secession, Senator D W met with PRSS Chairman and Lost MC President Rudi Rinsen on the compound for negotiations on the night of the 21st of January 2022 . However, both sides claim their only goal for the night: That for the state to end the attempting secession and for the PRSS, autonomy for their own new state. After hearing Rinsen's terms, W ordered to shoot the chairman and thus war broke out.
After the first firefight ended, the senate announced the adoption of Treason statute that is immediately added to the laws of the state. A state-wide announcement followed soon declaring that anyone associating with the Lost MC and its compound will be held in prison for treason.
