LIVERMORE (AP) ― Authorities have arrested seven men in connection with the discovery of 300 gamecocks in Livermore that are believed to have been used in illegal cockfights.

The men were arrested in an unincorporated area of Livermore after Alameda County Sheriff's investigators got a search warrant for the property. A cockfight was in progress when deputies arrived.

Three of the men are from the city of Alameda, two are from Livermore, one is from San Jose and one is from Las Vegas. Their names were not immediately released.
