Finks jailed for blackmail terror

Two Finks motorcycle gang members have been jailed for threatening to kill a man and his brother unless they paid $100 thousand.

The court heard Finks members Jason Lee Kingston and Travis John Lemm threatened to shoot a man and his brother in the head if they did not pay the money.

The court was told the victim was serving a sentence at Mobilong jail at the same time as Kingston, and agreed to pay Kingston $30 thousand for protection.

After they were released, Lemm threatened to kill the victim and increased the payment to $100 thousand.

Judge Dean Clayton said the threats were terrifying and had a long-lasting effect on the victim and his family.
