This former gang member, from Nottingham, says he was pressured into joining a gang when he was just 15-years-old.

He was never caught by police and now 18-years-old, he's turned his life around with the help of youth boxing project.

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.
