The Nation : 81 in Cycle Gang Arrested
Federal agents staging raids in nine states arrested 81 members of the Bandidos motorcycle gang on warrants charging them with narcotics, weapons and racketeering offenses. The gang is believed to control a major part of the U.S. methamphetamine--or “speed”--and PCP drug trade, the FBI said. FBI Director William H. Webster said in Washington that agents of the FBI; Drug Enforcement Agency; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and hundreds of state and local law enforcement officials were involved in the roundup, which was staged in Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Missouri, South Carolina, South Dakota, Washington, Texas and Illinois.
