Eight Members of Hells Angels' Rival Motorcycle Gang, Vagos, Arrested in "Operation Sand Castle" - Phoenix News - Valley Fever: "Eight members of Vagos, a rival motorcycle gang of the Hells Angels, were arrested yesterday in a massive roundup of alleged motorcycle gangsters -- dubbed 'Operation Sand Castle' -- believed to be involved in a July brawl at Rio Lomas Beach in Bullhead City.

On July 18, police received reports of a large brawl happening on the beach. At the end, several people, including some teenagers, were 'severely assaulted,' but nobody wanted to cooperate with police out of fear of the motorcycle gang.


The Department of Public Safety's Gang and Immigration Intelligence Team Enforcement Mission took over the investigation and were able to link Vagos to the beat down.

Dale Warren Smith, 52, of Mohave Valley; Shawn Patrick Bailey, 35, of Bullhead City; Shawn Lee Muncy, 41, of Bullhead City; Gabriel Timothy Nader Jr., 25, of Golden Valley; and Robert George Keller III, 35, of Bullhead City, were the aggressors in an attack on several teens and adults at the beach, a Department of Public Safety spokesman says.

They were each booked on charges of rioting-participating in a criminal street gang and aggravated assault."
