Street Gang Life

The Vagos Outlaw Motorcycle Gang was dealt a major blow on Thursday, with a series of raids throughout Southern California that led to the arrests of 12 members and the seizure of more than 300 guns. Members are suspected of narcotics trafficking, rape and murder, including the recent killing of a rival gang member at a Nevada casino, according to the California Department of Justice, which led the crackdown. A task force had been investigating the group since last year, leading to 25 arrests and the seizure of 46 pounds of cocaine, more than $37,000 and weapons including a grenade launcher and a rocket launcher.
