This week, I look at the criminal 'career' of burglar, fraudster, distraction robber and all-round conman Mark Woodliffe. A man who has constantly committed crimes across the UK, only stopping briefly to spend time in prison, before resuming his life of crime.

Welcome to episode nine of my monthly chats with Stuart, host of the British Murders Podcast.

As usual, we look at crime stories that made headlines in September 2025, covering local, national, and international headlines. This month, for the third consecutive month, Stuart decided not to choose a story related to a shark, whale or any other creature which lives in the sea, which was nice if unusual. Join us as we dive into these extraordinary stories in the September 2025 edition of the True Crime Round-Up:

• Woman threatened to expose her ex's "wee chipolata" online;
• Man charged with murder after Leeds attack as victim named;
• Meat smuggling crisis risks major disease outbreak in UK;
• Man jailed for life after birthday celebrations lead to Salford murder;
• FBI 'most wanted' man captured in North Wales facing 90 years in the slammer;
• The Contraband Chronicles: 71-year-old tried to smuggle £640k worth of cocaine into UK in mobility scooter;
• Influencer Lola Doll shot in Guyana;
• Six killed in rush hour bus shooting in Jerusalem;
• Thief arrested because he forgot to log off Facebook after burglarising a home;
• 'Dumb' criminals attempt robbery with permanent marker pen disguises;
• Man arrested for allegedly living in crawl space of Oregon housing complex.
