The raid of the 9 Hunt St. house was part of a two-year racketeering investigation of the Outlaws and Pagan motorcycle clubs called "Operation Black Diamonds," The Brockton Enterprise reports.
The arrest occurred after police said they found a .38 caliber gun in a second-floor bedroom of the house.
A second arrest of a man wanted on federal charges occurred in a nearby town. Arrest warrants were issued in multiple states on counts of attempted murder, weapons, narcotics, and racketeering conspiracy, said Mark W. Curtin, a supervisory special agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
The Brockton raid began at 6 a.m. Authorities confiscated boxes of undisclosed items from the house.
Also on Tuesday, a federal grand jury indicted 27 Outlaws members on multiple charges, including attempted murder, at a court in Virginia.
Police are expected to release additional information about the raid later on Tuesday.
