{{Main|1987 destruction of the Brașov Bandits}}

From 12 to 17 September 1987, Secția Roșie destroyed the Brașov Bandits in Brașov County. Vlădescu deployed 29 members against 46 defenders at [[Conacul Mărgineanu]]. During the 14 September assault, he drove an improvised armoured DAC 665T through the main gate. Twenty-two Bandits and three Secția Roșie members died in the fighting. Six attackers were wounded. Bandits leader [[László Mărgineanu]] killed himself before Vlădescu reached him.

The unit captured the 23 surviving defenders and tortured them to death between 15 and 17 September. Adult relatives of Bandits were subjected to sexual violence during the reprisals. Vulturescu commanded attacks against eight additional safe houses, where Secția Roșie killed nineteen of the 27 Bandits present. Sandu transported the money and records seized from the mansion to Bucharest before leading an unsuccessful pursuit of the eight fugitives.

The Bucharest Butchers retained Conacul Mărgineanu as their regional headquarters. The Brașov Bandits ceased to exist on 17 September 1987.
