Members of Mongols Motorcycle Club Arrested in Extensive Crime Sting
Several members of the Mongols Motorcycle Club were arrested Tuesday by federal agents in six states. The arrest came after a three-year investigation in which undercover agents infiltrated the group.
At least 38 members of the Southern California-based Mongol Motorcycle Club, including the gang's former national president, Ruben "Doc" Cavazos, were arrested under a federal racketeering indictment that included charges of murder, attempted murder, assault, as well as gun and drug violations.
Cavazos was arrested at his home near South Hills Country Club in West Covina. Cavazos wrote a memoir titled "Honor Few, Fear None: The Life and Times of a Mongol," published by HarperCollins in June.
Federal and local agents had 110 federal arrest warrants and 160 search warrants that were being served across Southern California and in Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, Washington and Ohio. The sweep, dubbed Operation Black Rain, was to continue throughout the day Tuesday, agents said.
According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Trade and Fierams, the Mongols had been recruiting Los Angeles street gang members to assist in their operations.
The Mongols are primarily Latino and formed because the Hells Angels refused to allow Hispanic members.
