Q&A: Tracking down Epstein's emails & was Jim Ratcliffe's immigration rant illegal?
23/2/2026 | 26 min
In this week's Q&A episode, Andy & Neil explain how the police will be attempting to get their hands on the original versions of the emails in the Epstein Files as they continue their investigations into the likes of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson.
They also react to Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe claiming the UK had been 'colonised by immigrants', and discuss whether his comments crossed a legal line and could be considered hate speech.
Plus, Andy reveals counter-terrorism officers' surprising choice of footwear, and Neil gives his view on when police should close missing persons investigations.

The gangs targeting Premier League stars
18/2/2026 | 41 min
In towns and cities across the UK, the wealthy are being watched. Organised criminal gangs are targeting millionaires, high-profile sports stars and some of Britain’s most exclusive jewellery stores. Not randomly. Not recklessly. But with precision.
They research their targets. Track their movements. Study alarm systems. Map escape routes. Then they strike. Safes are ripped out in minutes. Priceless jewellery displays cleared before police even arrive. Millions in watches, diamonds and cash disappearing into criminal networks that stretch far beyond Britain’s borders.
So who are these criminal gangs? How do they choose their targets? And where does the money go?

Cheating death: ‘I was ambushed by Russian hitmen’
16/2/2026 | 35 min
In this special bonus episode, Andy is joined by Sky News cameraman Richie Mockler, who tells the extraordinary story of how he and his team cheated death after being ambushed by Russians at the start of the Ukraine War in February 2022.
Richie describes fearing for his life after being hit by two bullets - and how he and the team all managed a miraculous escape thanks to local mechanics, Ukrainian police, and a big slice of luck.
Andy also asks Richie about the impact this incident had on him and his family, and how the experience compared to his many other dangerous encounters during decades of working in warzones and serving in the Royal Marines.

À propos de The Crime Agents

If you want to understand what’s really happening on Britain’s streets, you need to hear this. The Crime Agents, the new podcast from the makers of The News Agents, goes beyond the headlines to uncover the truth behind crime that affects all of us. Why is violence rising? Why is public trust in the police collapsing? And what’s really driving young people to kill each other? Hosted by two insiders who have spent their lives chasing the answers, this is your front-row seat to the realities of crime today. Neil Basu, the former Head of UK Counter-Terrorism Policing, brings unparalleled experience from the front lines of law enforcement. Andy Hughes, LBC’s Crime Correspondent, has spent two decades exposing the criminal underworld as an award-winning investigative journalist. Each week, The Crime Agents dives deep into the stories you think you know - from foiled terror plots and unsolved murders, to gang culture, far-right extremism, and the tactics police use to crack the toughest cases. With over 50 years of combined experience, Neil and Andy don’t just report on crime - they’ve lived it. For advertising opportunities on this podcast email: [email protected]
