On Staunton Island, the Forelli Family are shown, in 1998, as holding the [[Fort Staunton]], [[Newport]] and [[Belleville Park]] districts, whilst the [[Sindacco Family]] had control of the [[Torrington]] district. The Yakuza also have influence in the district, with the [[Big Shot Casino]]. Toni Cipriani then begins to attack the two Mafia families on Staunton Island, forcing the Sindacco Family out of Torrington, before forcing the Forelli Family out of Newport and Belleville Park. Toni's actions allow the Uptown Yardies to take Newport, although Toni later has to hold off an attack from the Sindacco Family. Later on, on orders from [[Donald Love]], Toni [[Bringing the House Down|destroys]] the Fort Staunton district, forcing the Forelli Family out of Staunton Island. Salvatore is later arrested and taken to the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|police]] station in [[Pike Creek]] on [[Shoreside Vale]], and Toni follows him. This allows the Uptown Yardies to maintain their stronghold in Newport, and allows the Yakuza to take over Torrington and [[Aspatria]].
