Operation: STREET SWEEPER was an anti-criminal operation undertaken by the Victorian Independent State in the colonial capital of Agley in 2544. Due to the VIS's focus on rooting out pro-UNSC partisans, several criminal syndicates had formed in Agley. However, as time went on, their presence became more public, and after an incident where several innocents were killed in gang-related violence, Colonel Karl Afeld called for Victorians to begin fighting against the criminal groups. At the behest of the Agley city government, commanders of the Agley Police Department and local militia prepared Operation: STREET SWEEPER, and began it with a string of raids on known criminal headquarters on June 10th.
