Four Hesperia Skinheads arrested in two-county sweep

They were arrested for a variety of offenses including, possession of a loaded fire arm, assault with a deadly weapon, home invasion robbery and membership in a street gang. All are members of the Inland Empire Skinheads street gang, authorities said. Goodwin was sent to the hospital for observation.

Detectives recovered white supremacist gang paraphernalia including swastika banners, crossed battle axes, the emblem of the IES, brass knuckles, knives, blades, framed photographs and portraits of Hitler.

The investigation into the racist gang was sparked by a Hesperia attempted murder in October 2008, according to authorities. Since then, investigators learned IES members have been involved in a variety of illegal activities, including trafficking of narcotics, witness intimidation, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, Ogaz said.

According to Ogaz, the gang was first documented by Riverside authorities in November 2002 and are closely associated to the much-larger Hammerskin Nation which has membership nationwide.
