GRANTS PASS — Police have released more details on the arrests of six men accused of beating and robbing a man who attempted to leave the Vagos Motorcycle Club.
The attack happened in August when an unnamed victim told fellow bikers he was quitting the Vagos Motorcycle Club. He was beaten by other members at Grants Pass Custom Motorcycle at 320 Redwood Highway.

The six men, one of whom lives in Gold Hill, were arrested Tuesday on charges of first-degree burglary, second-degree robbery, coercion and second-degree kidnapping. There were lodged in the Josephine County Jail, where five remained late Wednesday on $250,000 bail.
A sixth suspect posted bail and was released, police said.

The man wanted out of the Vagos Outlaw Motorcycle Club, 7 arrested in Oregon
Okay, call it selfish. I need good coverage of this article. One of the families involved in the arrest BLANTANTLY stole from me, $7000.00 in a legal transaction a few years ago. Sometimes we do get to live long enough to see people receive their just due. I am a biker from way back...it's not a biker thing. It's a no values, no principles, stealing from people because you can with no remorse thing.
Where I come from, REAL BIKERS DON'T rip people off and they don't rip off hard working single moms. My life has moved on but obviously bad karma has got ahold of these folks. Maybe they should repay the $7000.00 and get on with their lives.
Police arrest a half-dozen men they say beat and robbed a man who was trying to leave their motorcycle gang.
Oregon - The man wanted out of the Vagos Outlaw Motorcycle Club, but police say some of the members wouldn't let him leave without a fight.
Police say when the un-named man tried to get out of the club last summer, he was assaulted, kidnapped, and taken to his home. Where, they say, gang members then tried to rob him.
Seven men were arrested Tuesday, six of them on assault, kidnapping, robbery and burglary charges.
Early Tuesday morning more than 60 officers from several law enforcement agencies served search warrants at homes and businesses throughout Jackson and Josephine counties.
Seven men were arrested stemming from a five-month investigation by detectives from the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety.
"This is a complex investigation taken a significant amount if time as well as significant number of personnel in the investigation mater of making sure we completed as much investigation as we could before we took it to the grand jury," said Deputy Chief Laura Zeliff, Grants Pass Department of Public Safety.
Police say six of the men are members of the Vagos Outlaw Motorcycle Club.
Robert Moore and Gary Jones were picked up at homes in Grants Pass. James Lloyd was arrested at a business in Medford. Richard Anthony Coehlo, was arrested at Grants Pass Custom Cycle, where the alleged assault occurred. Christopher Jorgenson was arrested at a Grants Pass home, along with David Hughes, who faces methamphetamine possession and criminal mischief charges.
Several individuals who work nearby say this section of Highway 199 was blocked off early Tuesday morning. Some people were told to leave work and return in a few hours, as officers served their search warrants.
"We did not want people in our community officers or individuals there to arrest to be injured as such we did a low key approach to majority swat operations those were low key as well," said Zeliff.
Nearby businesses say the store was a frequent hangout for members of the gang.
Police say their investigation isn't over, and they expect to make more arrests.
Five of the defendants are still in the Josephine County Jail, held on $250,000 bail.
One of the suspects, 61-year-old Gary Jones posted bail and was released.
