SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — Twelve members of the Vagos motorcycle club were arrested and more than 300 weapons seized in raids across seven Southern California counties, in the latest attempt to dismantle what authorities say is a criminal enterprise. In all, 37 people have been arrested for a variety of drug-related crimes as part of a 18-month investigation led by the California Department of Justice. More than 40 pounds of cocaine and eight pounds of methamphetamine were seized along with a rocket launcher.
