P.C. Jones called at the Rovers in September 1971 to break the news to Annie Walker that Lucille Hewitt was in hospital after a knock on the head. Annie later found out that Lucille had been mugged while on her way to the bank with the takings from Dave Smith's Betting Shop and Det Insp Bill Sharp was in charge of the actual investigation. The PC was tall and thin, and had a moustache. Credited as "P.C. 243" in his first appearance and "Policeman" in his second, his surname was given in Episode 1125 (27th October 1971) although he didn't appear in person.
