Cracking the Case

Cracking the Case (2025- )

To Be DeterminedDocumentary showCrime

Every crime leaves a trail. Fingerprints, DNA, a move caught on camera. BBC News journalist Calum Leslie is joined by two experts - one who investigates how crimes are committed and one who digs into why.

The team examines the evidence that led to convictions and put some of the UK's most notorious criminals behind bars. Gaining access to information that usually remains sealed, Cracking the Case gives professional insights into the psychological profile behind the criminal act and walks the audience through how the perpetrators were caught.

At the heart of each episode lies a thorough exploration of the impact crime has on victims and their families - giving a voice to the people most profoundly impacted by terrible events by hearing directly from them.

The Heist, the Hit and the Hunt

 

'He's been shot, he's been shot!' Gunfire breaks the silence of a summer's evening in Woodford, East London.

The victim lies bleeding as the assailant speeds off in a waiting car. The same vehicle is used to flee a burglary in Kent the evening prior. A month before the shooting, a door is forced open at an art museum in Geneva, Switzerland. The thieves escape with over £2.5m worth of artefacts.

How were a series of seemingly unrelated criminal events all tied together, five years later, by one crucial piece of evidence? What secrets did an iPad found in the water of the River Thames reveal about a web of international, organised crime?

A journalist, a forensic psychiatrist and a former police detective delve into an almost six-year investigation. They look at the evidence that was left behind after the near-fatal assassination attempt and examine how police linked it to the robbery of items including a priceless Ming vase from a museum in Switzerland.
