Police take security precautions for biker gang
Paso Robles police receive support from Grover Beach and Atascadero police departments.
Security forces surround police department
– Police from multiple agencies throughout the county are standing guard at the Paso Robles Police department today, in preparation for a ride through town of the Vagos Motorcycle Club expected tonight, according to an officer from the San Luis Obispo Police Department. Park and Pine streets are closed with barricades between 10th and 9th streets around the police department.
Groups of bikers, like this one outside Motel 6, visited Paso Robles this weekend.
Multiple officers from departments all throughout the county are currently surrounding the police station as a precautionary measure, as the gang has been known to have a particular distaste for the police. Some agencies in attendance included the Atascadero Police Department, Arroyo Grande Police Department, Grover Beach Police Department, San Luis Obispo County Probation Department, California Highway Patrol and the San Luis Obispo Police Department.
The FBIÂ as well as the Los Angeles Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the California Attorney General have named the Vagos as an outlaw motorcycle club, claiming that they are involved in criminal activities such as producing, transporting and distributing methamphetamine and marijuana, as well as assault, extortion, insurance fraud, money laundering, murder, vehicle theft, witness intimidation and weapons violations.
Support also came in from the city of San Luis Obispo.
Vagos began in San Bernardino in 1965, and has since then gained about 4000 members.
In light of the recent shootout in Waco Texas, the backup support was brought in. Currently, there are officers stationed around the station wearing bullet-proof vests, acting as potential, “bullet bouncers,” according to the San Luis officer.
Paso Robles Police Chief Robert Burton was not available for comment at press time.

Paso Robles residence have more bullets then there are biker gangs. Please test us on this statistic.
The vagos weren't in Waco, but hey report on whatever to boost your ratings!
Do none of you below know how to read? Simply because a recent biker hang shoot out was mentioned, doesn't mean the reporting agency or law enforcement believe that THIS particular gang was involved. In fact, nowhere does the article claim that. Stepping up public safety as a precaution because a known outlaw gang is rolling through town is what our tax dollars pay for. Be happy that our authorities are aware enough to do so, being on a proactive stance, instead of a tragic reactive stance. Ps… It's not cool to be outlaw, son of anarchy wannabes.
Saw a bunch of them at the gas station in Morro Bay. They didn't seem like they were looking for any trouble to me.
"According to news reports" being the key words there. They're reporting what was reported. Again, that doesn't mean that the law enforcement that is in the know (like FBI) believe news reports. I'm sorry you have such little faith in the people who put their lives on the line to protect us. Cynical outlook to have. Their are good and bad everywhere, but I'm sincerely tired of the public jumping down law enforcements throat over any move they make to protect innocent lives. Say IF a shoot out were to happen here locally, people would be up in arms about WHY law enforcement wasn't doing X Y Z to protect.
Your an idiot

First off, the Vagos aren't a "gang", they are a club. Just because a suit in Washington parrots something often enough doesn't mean it's true. Secondly, mayhap YOU should learn to read; the article specifically states that Vagos were involved in the massacre of American Citizens by the Whaco pd and atf gun-thugs.
P.S.
It's not cool to be an uninformed sheep.

Bike clubs go on toys for tots rides, and adopt roads to clean together… Not get widely known for their outlaw activities. But, hey.. Call 'em whatever you want.
@Jeff, that hurts… So bad.
Here's the deal. The police in Waco fucked up. Best way to cover it up is by making every club in every area look bad. Just like tonight. Make clubs look bad by blocking off the police station. Nobody gives a shit to harass cops. Or anybody else for that matter. We get harassed. Name anything any club in this area has done to make headlines here in the last 20 fuckin years.bet you cant. Kids doin dope, women getting beat, but cops worry about what they WANT to happen with clubs. I pay them good money to fuck with me.
You want people to respect the police but you call other people who are in MC Clubs wannabes? How about respect for people choices to be in a motorcycle club. You may not choose to be apart of something but don't put people down that are!!
Right the hell on brother, in total agreement with you. This is nothing but bullshit hype……blame it on the bikers, kiss my ass. We haven't done a damned thing but Johnny Q Public will THINK we're all bad news because of this. Screw the hype and the tainted views of the police. I mean seriously, who gives a rat's ass to screw with Paso cops? What a "Look at me, look at me" joke!
Lol silly piggies get outta the confiscated drugs.
Wow… so stupid. Love how the atf stirs up and fuels fear in local law enforcement.
Tara Heckman, well said. Unfortunately your words are lost on those whose writings and thought processes are on a second grade level.
so that was what's going on. Was driving through there when they were setting up. I noticed all kinds of different uniforms and was wondering what the heck.
I am sure everything will be fineif they don't start shooting at them like they did in Waco
I suppose you talk to your parents and kids that way too…..??? No ? In my mind!
I'm sure that the vocabulary you have is "Learned"…. Tell your Folks "Great Job"!!!!
Shannon, I didn't call people in "bike clubs" wannabes. I did, however, refer to the people who sensationalize "outlaw bike CLUBS" sons of anarchy wannabes. I actually have many friends who are in bike clubs for the love and sport of riding. They're NOT doing things against the law together, and making a name for themselves as an outlaw group/club/gang. They certainly aren't posting anti law enforcement crap, and typically respect their local law enforcement.
Maybe they'll ride into A-Town or SLO where there aren't any cops left to patrol?
To all my biker family, LETS RIDE. As an eighth generation of this county, I am for the first time embarrassed to say I live here. Ive been around bikers all my life, most of them would lay down and die for you, give you the shirt off their backs, hand you the last dollar in their pocket. This has me wondering who said there was going to be a problem tonight, and what are there plans tonight? Whos watching them? Only thing I see here is wasted tax dollars better spent elsewhere. I have to say that maybe James Marzano, you better look into some better education then San Jose City College, or maybe a really good investment into some excellent reading glasses, but hey I will give you some props about being able to have the balls to say that. Its nice to see a possibly educated man doing to research before landing on his ass with both feet in his mouth. Looks like beautiful evening here in the North County. Peace.
I just love seeing you make a fool of yourself twice, you are great entertainment Mr. Marzano.
Hey daddy, Happy Birthday, Kiss and hug grandma for me, keep watching down on your grandsons and I. Love you and miss you more then ever. Love your baby girl.
