Several people were arrested early Saturday morning following a police raid at a Gowanus motorcycle club.

Police found guns, various types of drugs, and several people with outstanding arrest warrants at the God’s Only Demons social club located on Butler Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues. Five firearms, marijuana, ketamine, crack, cocaine, and drug paraphernalia were discovered on the premises. Five men were arrested on drug and gun charges and police nabbed another 19 people for open warrants, Gothamist reports.

Several complaints have been made against the club over the years citing various disturbances, ranging from noise complaints, frequent fighting, and occasional shootings. A murder occurred outside the club in 2012 reportedly following a dispute that started inside. In 2013, during a party at the club in which alcohol was allegedly being served to minors, a 16-year-old boy passed out and was hospitalized.

Police filed a lawsuit in 2014 to shut down the club. This weekend’s raid is part of an ongoing investigation.
