A GANG who beat a man with a pool cue and a baseball bat in an attack described as an act of vigilante justice has been jailed for more than 11 years in total.

Stewart Bridgman, Kyle Heald and Thomas Timmins kicked and punched David Goodeve, who they had suspected had stolen from Bridgman, in a “prolonged and premeditated” attack at The Globe pub on January 9, 2017.

Bridgman, of Levens Way, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, was the pub landlord at the time of the assault and was renting a room to Goodeve.
