30 members of Vagos Motorcycle Club facing charges today following sweep




At least 30 members of one of California's most notorious outlaw motorcycle gangs are facing charges today amid a law enforcement crackdown prompted by recent booby-trap attacks on anti-gang officers in Hemet.

Quote from the article:

Nearly 100 members of the largest outlaw motorcycle gang active in California, the Vagos Motorcycle Club, were targeted in a law enforcement sweep Wednesday.

“Operation Everywhere” netted 30 arrests of Vagos gang members in Riverside County, and an unknown number of suspects were taken into custody in other counties and three other states, said Riverside County District Attorney Rod Pacheco.

The prosecutor said the biker gang's criminal activities have intensified over the last few months.

“The Vagos gang has gotten our significant attention,” he said. “Today we delivered the terms of having gotten our attention.”

Pacheco appeared with Hemet police Chief Richard Dana, who described the multi-agency law enforcement sweep as “sending a message” to the gang members.

In the last two-and-a-half months, the officers working for the Hemet/San Jacinto Gang Task Force have been targeted in three potentially deadly attacks.
