LOS ANGELES
Authorities say they have arrested at least 31 members of the outlaw motorcycle gang known as the Mongols in a half-dozen states.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives spokesman Mike Hoffman says federal and local agents started serving 110 federal arrest warrants Tuesday morning in Southern California, Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, Washington and Ohio.
A federal indictment accuses members of the motorcycle gang of murder, attempted murder, assault and violations of firearms and drug laws.
Hoffman says four undercover ATF agents became fully inducted members of the gang during the three-year investigation.
The spokesman says those arrested included the Mongols’ former national president Ruben Cavazos.
