The Liberty City Port Authority uniforms were easy to get, since Niko had a friend of a friend who was well-connected with the LCPA folks. Now, all they needed were the vehicles. It was decided that they would need two Annihilators.
It was known that a few LCPD stations had Annihilators on its rooftops. The one in East Holland had one on its roof, and the station in Lower Easton also had an Annihilator on its roof. Michael, Franklin, Trevor and Gustavo decided to attack both police stations at the same time.
To reduce the number of police forces that would be chasing them, Alex Robuchon was asked to cause some trouble to distract the LCPD. Thus, Alex stole a Burrito and installed a bomb to the underside of the van. He drove the Burrito to the police station in East Island City and parked beside the building.
"Michael, I'm parked outside the station already. Are you ready?" Alex asked. By then, the four of them were already in their respective positions – Michael and Gustavo near the station at East Holland and Trevor and Franklin near the Lower Easton one.
"All ready, Alex. Let it blow," Michael replied.
Putting on a face mask, Alex drove the van to the pavement, got out, and walked a distance away from it before detonating the bomb. The bomb was a thermal one, and when detonated the heat produced by it could reach up to 1000°C.
Shortly after the bomb was detonated, the fire began spreading to the building itself. An alarm started going off and policemen rushed out of the building, seeing their workplace in flames but not being able to do anything about it.
A few minutes later, at the East Holland Police Station, Michael and Gustavo saw many police vehicles exiting the station. They were probably heading to the police station in East Island City, where Alex had set off the bomb.
Both of them put on their masks and armed themselves before getting out of their vehicle. Both of them were armed with simple SMGs, as they wanted to travel light. Gustavo stuck a bomb to the vehicle, which was stolen, and set the timer to five minutes.
Walking over to a side of the station, Gustavo climbed up a garbage bin before he made his way to the helipad by walking and climbing on a series of metal vents. Michael did the same and in less than three minutes they were in the Annihilator.
The remaining police officers in the station noticed the Annihilator's blades spinning, but they simply assumed that the Annihilator had been activated.
Michael, who was the better flyer, piloted the Annihilator to Francis International Airport, where Niko owned a hangar. He parked the Annihilator in Niko's hangar and the two of them left FIA.
About fifteen minutes before, Franklin received a call from Alex Robuchon. "The bomb's gone. Go, go, go!" He and Trevor were at the Higgins Helitours Heliport, located at Castle Gardens.
Franklin put down the phone and nodded at Trevor. Trevor produced a Sticky Bomb and stuck it on the steering wheel of the vehicle, which was also stolen. The two of them put on their masks, took their pistols and got out of the vehicle. While Trevor and Franklin were walking along the helipad to a Helitours Maverick, the latter detonated the Sticky Bomb.
At the same time, Trevor produced a pistol and trained it at a Maverick pilot, who was smoking outside his own helicopter. The pilot immediately dropped his cigarette and raised his hands. The pilot, along with everyone who was in a fifty metre-radius of the stolen vehicle, heard the explosion.
The pilot started panicking, but Trevor ordered, "Keep your fucking hands there, mister. One false move and I'll shoot you."
Franklin walked over to the pilot, and forced him down on the ground. As he held the pilot's hands together, Trevor got into the Maverick. Franklin slapped the pilot lightly in the face before releasing him and getting into the Maverick.
They flew the Maverick over to the nearby Lower Easton Police Station. As they neared the station, Trevor grabbed a parachute, which every Helitours Maverick had in it. He slid open the helicopter door and waited until the correct time before jumping.
Civilians and officers alike were stunned to see the masked Trevor parachuting onto the rooftop of the police station. However, the rooftop was too high up for the officers to get there on time or shoot Trevor.
Upon landing on the helipad, Trevor got into the Annihilator and pulled the now-useless parachute in with him. He started the engine and started flying it to Niko's hangar at Francis International Airport.
Alex was lingering around at the East Island City Police Station, watching what the officers were doing, when he spotted a police officer making their way towards him. Gotta go, he thought.
He made his way out of the crowd, heading towards the LTA station at Huntington Street. However, Alex saw another two officers moving towards him from the direction of the LTA station. Alex swore, before stopping and raising his hands in the air.
The first officer produced a pistol and aimed it at Alex while the other two restrained him. "Why were you trying to run away from me?" the first officer asked.
Alex pretended to be confused. "I was just watching the show, like anyone else, and after a while I wanted to leave!" The second officer shook his head. "I think we should arrest him, sir."
The first police officer nodded and the third officer pulled out a pair of handcuffs. Alex immediately elbowed the third officer in the stomach. The third officer staggered backwards, releasing his grip on one of Alex's hands, and Alex used the free hand to punch the second officer in the jaw.
Before the second officer moved away from Alex, he grabbed the officer and used him as a human shield, so that the first officer could not shoot him. Alex took the pistol from the second officer's holster and fired a shot. The bullet hit the first officer in the stomach.
Pushing the second officer as far away from him as possible, Alex made a run for it. He reached the train station shortly, bought his train ticket and quickly boarded the train. As the train departed from the station, he saw police officers running towards the train, even though they knew they were too late.
By the time the train entered Algonquin, officers were stationed at every train station on the line, keeping a lookout for a Frenchman wearing a mask. Alex took off his mask and stuffed it in his pocket, before exiting the train at a particular station, where many people were also getting out of the train. He blended in perfectly with the crowd, and the officers were unable to spot him.
Alex exited the train station and saw a few Police Cruisers parked nearby. He flagged down a taxi and left the scene.
Back at the Lower Easton apartment, Michael told them, "We should strike when the iron is still hot. Luckily, the shipment is due to arrive in two days. That is when we strike, obviously. Get ready to attack, men. We'll meet back here on the day itself, at five in the morning."
Their actions were all over the news again. A fire breaking out at the LCPD station at East Island City, the stealing of two Annihilators at two police stations in Algonquin and the assault of three police officers near the Huntington Street LTA station. The LCPD spokesman, Anthony Pizzerelli, called the attacks an insult to the LCPD and that the LCPD would be taking action. He also claimed that it had something to do with the recent attacks on the Liberty Mob, but there was no evidence to support the claim.
