PC Grove was one of two policemen who arrested and questioned Robbie Lawson and Adam Barton after a tip-off about an illegal booze-run from Debbie Dingle who was setting them up. In March 2014, he interviewed Belle Dingle after she confessed to her involvement in best friend Gemma Andrews's death. In July 2014, PC Grove turned up at Butler's Farm and questioned Moira Dingle after vet Vanessa Woodfield lost some ketamine whilst treating an animal at the farm.
