News Staff Six members of the Rock Machine Motorcycle Club have been handed lengthy prison sentences totaling more than 27 years following a calculated and violent targeted attack on two members of the rival Outlaws group in Coleford, Gloucestershire. The assault occurred on April 5, 2025, outside a pub on Market Place near the Clock Tower. Five vehicles arrived at the scene, and a group of men immediately charged the victims. Some of the attackers were armed with metal poles, a baseball bat, and a hammer. The male victim, in his 60s, suffered serious injuries including a bleed on the brain and a fractured jaw, requiring hospital treatment. The female victim was also injured but did not need hospitalization. Court proceedings at Bristol Crown Court revealed the attack stemmed from a dispute between the Rock Machine and The Outlaws. Judge Richardson noted a clear “willingness to engage in confrontation and violence” and a desire by those involved to “ensure the Rock Machine were on top.” The sentencing on June 19, 2026, delivered a strong message that such brazen public violence will not be tolerated. Here are the sentences handed down: Ashley Lauterdale, 35, from Gloucester — found guilty of wounding with intent, violent disorder, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm — 6 years and 6 months. Lee Rogers, 38, from Tipton — pleaded guilty to wounding with intent and violent disorder — 5 years and 10 months. Darren Rimmer, 53, from Gloucester — found guilty of wounding with intent and violent disorder — 4 years and 5 months. Billy Timmins, 27, from Tipton — pleaded guilty to wounding with intent and violent disorder — 4 years and 3 months. Robert Greenacre, 35, from Wokingham — pleaded guilty to wounding with intent and violent disorder — 3 years and 4 months. Kyle Matthews, 28, from Gloucester — found guilty of wounding with intent and violent disorder — 2 years and 10 months. The combined total for these six men stands at 27 years and 2 months in prison. Three additional men — Luke Cole, Joshua Bell, and Paul Price — previously pleaded guilty to violent disorder and will be sentenced at Bristol Crown Court in August. Mark Gibson was found guilty of violent disorder but not guilty of the more serious wounding and assault charges; he also awaits sentencing in August. Jordan Peers was found not guilty of all charges and faces no further action. The Biggest Release Of Raw Unfiltered Biker Music in a generation Acting Detective Sergeant Robert Humphreys of Gloucestershire Police welcomed the result, stating he was pleased that six men had been jailed for what he described as a “calculated and brazen violent assault.” He emphasized that the outcome demonstrates violence will not be tolerated in Gloucestershire and that police will continue working to bring offenders to justice. This case highlights the very real dangers when outlaw motorcycle club rivalries spill into public spaces. What should have been a normal day in a quiet Gloucestershire town turned into a scene of organized violence involving multiple vehicles and weapons. The victims were specifically targeted because of their association with a rival group, and the level of coordination shown by the attackers left little doubt about intent. The use of weapons such as hammers and metal poles during a group assault in a public area near a popular landmark underscores how these disputes can quickly escalate and put ordinary people at risk. While many motorcycle clubs focus on riding, brotherhood, and charity events, incidents like the Coleford attack remind communities that certain factions operate under a different code — one where disputes are settled with violence and dominance must be asserted through force. Judge Richardson’s comments about the mindset of those involved — the readiness to confront and the drive to come out on top — capture the dangerous dynamics that can exist between rival clubs. The substantial sentences reflect the court’s view that this was not a spontaneous fight but a planned operation designed to inflict serious harm. For the victims, the road to recovery will be long. A bleed on the brain and a fractured jaw are life-altering injuries, and the psychological impact of being attacked in such a coordinated manner cannot be overstated. The female victim’s injuries, while less severe, still serve as a reminder that anyone in the vicinity of these clashes can become collateral damage. As more defendants await sentencing in August, the full scope of accountability for this attack is still being determined. The convictions and prison terms already delivered send a clear signal to those who believe they can operate above the law or use public spaces as battlegrounds for club disputes. Law enforcement agencies across the UK continue to monitor outlaw motorcycle club activity closely. Cases like this one in Coleford demonstrate that when violence occurs, thorough investigations can lead to significant consequences, even when multiple people are involved and some attempt to minimize their roles. The Rock Machine and The Outlaws are both established names in the world of motorcycle clubs with international reach. When tensions between such groups boil over in places like rural Gloucestershire, the results can be severe — not just for those directly involved, but for the wider community that expects to feel safe in their local pubs and streets. This sentencing marks another chapter in the ongoing effort to hold members of violent motorcycle gangs accountable. With over 27 years in prison handed down so far and more decisions still to come, the message from Bristol Crown Court is unmistakable: calculated attacks on rivals will be met with serious prison time.
