In the early 2000s, Dave Gunn and his brother Colin built a multi-million-pound empire, during a time when Nottingham was labelled Britain's gun crime capital.

The second season of Sherwood, the BBC crime drama series, was inspired by the activities of the Gunn Brothers and the deadly crime wave in Nottingham, which earned the city the nickname 'Shottingham.'

According to the media, the Gunn Brothers ruled some of the city’s suburbs with an iron fist, drove around in flash cars and were dripping in expensive jewellery. They saw themselves as protectors of their manor – a modern-day mix of Robin Hood and the Kray twins.
