Biker Gang Busted: Three Jailed in Huge Crime Network Crackdown
Three motorcycle club members and three accomplices have landed stiff jail sentences after a bitter gang feud uncovered a nationwide crime ring.
Heavy Sentences for Guns and Drugs
- Steve Mason, locked up at HMP Oakwood, copped nine years for possession and manufacture of banned firearms and intent to supply Class A drugs.
- Dale Austin from Exmouth pleaded guilty to possession of a prohibited firearm and drug dealing. He faces six years behind bars.
- Leslie Lamb of Timperley got 27 months for criminal damage and growing cannabis.
Accomplices Also Slammed
- Luke Emery from Stockport received an 18-month suspended sentence, 150 hours unpaid work, and 10 days rehab. Evidence showed him and Lamb plotting an attack on a rival gang’s clubhouse, complete with photos of the wreckage.
- Victoria Priestner Emery, Lamb’s partner, pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice. She was handed a 10-month suspended sentence after police found a 3D-printed revolver at her home.
- Emma McCagh, Mason’s ex from Exmouth, got a two-year community order for letting her home be used to supply cocaine. Officers also seized more parts of 3D-printed guns and a revolver.
3D-Printed Guns: New Frontier in Gang Crime
This crackdown exposes a worrying rise in outlaw bikers using 3D printing to manufacture illegal firearms. Police say the tech is fueling a surge in weapon stockpiling and drug trafficking, hitting at the core of biker gang crime networks nationwide.
