Santa Barbara part of major outlaw motorcycle gang investigation

SANTA BARBARA – 10:38 a.m. – California Department of Justice firearms and narcotics agents were in Santa Barbara Thursday in what’s being called one of the largest investigations of its kind into criminal activity by an outlaw motorcycle gang.
The Santa Barbara Police Department’s Bearcat armored vehicle assisted in the D.O.J.’s search of an apartment complex on the 1400 block of Lou Dillon Lane.
The D.O.J. is uncharacteristically tight-lipped about the case.
