Mark "Marco Polo" Polono (Annunziata Enforcer) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

The "G" Men: The new Executive Order from the President has further defined those who can be more easily deported. Our task force has jumped on the opportunity to roust and remove these undesirables from our jurisdiction. This is the third wave of raids on the crime families.

Marco wouldn't show us his hands when we approached. He was told multiple times to show his hands. He just smiled....

We tazered him. Turned out to be a good thing. He had not one, but 2 blades in his hands. He was ready to go down swinging.

I'm so glad to get this bum pushed out of town....

Geocache Description:




Special Agent this is your task:


Three crime families have joined forces to create a vast underworld syndicate. They are led by the notorious Geno "John" Amato. The supply and demand for illegal goods and services is undermining public morals, neutralizing law enforcement through corruption, and infiltrating the legal economy. Local law enforcement has been unable to reduce the threat. Appropriate countermeasures must be taken! **Coords for the GC4GMVQ Anthony "Tony 2-step" Amato (Amato Family Boss) maybe hidden in this cache. Always look and take notes**

Bio

A man with a devious smile, but no sense of humor, Marco Polo likes to intimidate trouble makers with his dexterous use of the switchblade knife. Carving in wood, or slicing an apple perfectly without ever looking at what he's doing, his "guests" quickly get the message.
