FBI Raids Bandidos Cycle Gang
Federal agents swept down on the Bandidos outlaw motorcycle gang in eight states today, armed with warrants charging 90 members and associates with narcotics, weapons and racketeering offenses, the FBI said.
The warrants charged members of the Bandidos, described as one of the four largest outlaw motorcycle gangs in the nation, with illegal manufacture and distribution of methamphetamines, known commonly as “speed” and “crank.” The agents began staging raids before dawn in Arkansas, Colorado, South Carolina, Missouri, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Louisiana.
