About The Crime Agents
If you want to understand what’s really happening on Britain’s streets, you need to hear this. The Crime 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. The Crime Agents is a Global production, available every Monday and Thursday on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your shows. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Published 5 Nov 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And as the guilty verdicts were read out, there was no noticeable reaction from Brand. His wife in the public gallery was breathing hard, she was fighting back tears, and then she rushed out of the room ahead of others. And it was at that point that the judge told Brand that he could expect a lengthy custodial sentence. […]
