An entire chapter of the Hells Angels motorcycle club has been arrested in California as part of a criminal street gang investigation and now face charges including kidnapping, robbery and assault, police say. 

The Kern County Sheriff’s Office announced that the Bakersfield chapter of the "outlaw motorcycle gang" was taken into custody on Tuesday following a joint probe with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the California Highway Patrol. 

"More than 150 law enforcement personnel seized approximately 25 firearms, ammunition, multiple high-capacity magazines, and gang affiliate paraphernalia," the Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. 

Police released images of the firearms – which included several rifles – laid out on a table, along with patches, jackets and other clothing.
