The Crime Roundup: May 2025

In this monthly collaboration series, Adam from the UK True Crime podcast and I take a step back from individual cases to explore a curated selection of gripping crime stories that made headlines in May 2025. From chilling local, national, and international headlines to quirky and more lighthearted stories, this series offers a glimpse into the diverse and often shocking world of true crime.


This month's stories include:


  1. Missing convicted murderer caught on Edinburgh bus
  2. Romance fraudster posed as footballer to steal thousands from Yorkshire women and fund luxury lifestyle
  3. Swansea man jailed after sending sexual messages to decoy
  4. Greggs makes huge change to UK stores to tackle major problem
  5. Met Police foil drug gang who supplied half a ton of cocaine across London
  6. Mexican navy ship crashes into Brooklyn Bridge, killing two sailors
