Bushranger Dunn associated with the two known bushrangers Ben Hall and John Gilbert. Dunn joined the Hall gang in October 1864, a welcomed new member after police captured gang members Dunleavy and Mount. In late 1864, during the robbery of a mail coach near Jugiong, Gilbert shot and killed Sergeant Parry. On 26 January 1865, Hall, Gilbert and Dunn were at Collector, near Lake George. While Hall and Gilbert were holding up the hotel, Dunn shot and killed the local police officer. Dunn twice fired, his first shot and hitting once in the face and the second that pieced the heart. Constable Samuel Nelson was the sole policeman in the township and the father of eight. Dunn also shot at Nelson's son but missed.
In May, Hall, Gilbert, and Dunn were proclaimed outlaws; the passing into law the Felons Apprehension Act 1865, which allowed known bushrangers to be shot and killed rather than taken to trial, this put them outside the law and liable to be killed by anyone.
