LISTEN: A former gang member from #Nottingham tells Capital he was pressured into joining a gang when he was just 15 #KnifeCrime

Capital's found children as young as 7 have been caught carrying a knife in school in the East Midlands.

This teenager, who we've kept anonymous, told us he was groomed by a gang at his Nottingham school when he was 15.

He was never caught by police and is now 18-years-old; he's now got his life back on track with the help of youth boxing project @NottsBoxing, run by @SwitchUpNotts.

He starts by telling @LABMidlands he was vulnerable when the group approached him at school, supplying him with knives and knuckledusters before asking him to rob people.
