PC Brewer

PC Brewer investigated two crimes that hit the residents of Coronation Street, neither of which were what they seemed on the surface.

In February 2010, Joe McIntyre made a desperate attempt to get himself out of his spiralling debt situation. With his incredulous wife Gail watching on, he sailed off into the night on Lake Windermere, planning to stage an “accident” and fake his own disappearance and death. Joe’s main protagonist for the money he owed was Rick Neelan, an unscrupulous loan shark who then began harassing and threatening Gail and Tina McIntyre, his daughter. PC Brewer came to speak to the two women who told of the threats and PC Brewer advised them that Neelan was known to them and he would be taken in for questioning. What none of them knew is that Joe’s attempt at deception had gone disastrously wrong and that he really had drowned. At almost the same moment that PC Brewer was visiting 8 Coronation Street, Joe’s body had been found.

The second visit came in May 2013 when seven rolls of expensive silk were stolen from an Underworld van when they were being delivered by Tracy Barlow. In reality, Tracy and Rob Donovan staged the robbery in revenge for Rob’s treatment at the hands of his sister and the company’s major share-holder Carla Connor. Tracy’s tale convinced the police as the insurance company agreed to pay up for the stolen goods while Rob attempted to sell the silk on and pocket the proceeds. Carla however discovered what the two were up to and managed to retrieve the silk from Rob.
