A decade ago Colin Joyce and Lee Amos, members of one of Britain’s most feared criminal gangs - the Gooch Gang would have been beyond reach. But due to cutting edge investigative techniques, using hi tech surveillance, DNA, and CCTV, the gang’s reign of terror came to a dramatic end.
This is the exclusive story of how a specialist police team took down the leaders of one of Britain’s most feared criminal gangs. With access to the videos, interview tapes, and forensic materials - this film reveals how they did it. And it reveals how their arrest – and sentencing of up to 39 years in prison – led to a 60 per cent reduction in gun crime in Manchester... and established a model now being adopted by other forces across Britain.
It’s a story that holds out hope for every city in the UK blighted by gun and gang crime... and should put fear into those involved in it.
