Two armed men pursued a red-haired woman through brush bordering Conjure district yesterday afternoon. The chase followed her assault on a man left unconscious near the docks. The men wrestled her to the ground. They applied repeated electric shocks with a handheld device. She lost consciousness. They restrained her with improvised bindings.

The Ledger learned this incident fits a pattern of unsanctioned violence. Syndicate-aligned sources blame fractured loyalties in Port Laveau outfits. "When discipline breaks down inside these outfits, ordinary residents pay the price," a Sheriff's Office source said. Some parties now impose order where officials hesitate.

A department spokesperson declined to confirm charges. "Port Laveau has no patience for those who cannot govern themselves," the spokesperson said. "One way or another, order is restored here."
