Band of outlaws (4)
I believe the answer is:
gang
'band of outlaws' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for gang that I've seen before include "Group (crazy or criminal?)" , "A lot of labourers" , "Group acting with common purpose" , "Organised group of workmen" , "criminal family" .)
