Police Officer (Eva Scott)

The Police Officer and a male colleague responded to a call from a "concerned neighbour" of Nicola Rubinstein's to say that they had seen an intruder at her flat at 5 Viola Court in February 2018.

Nicola was hiding a frightened Seb Franklin there after he became aware that Pat Phelan had murdered Luke Britton and was trying to pin the crime on him. Phelan had become suspicious that Nicola was up to something and used a spare key to gain entry, finding a unwitting Seb there but keeping his discovery to himself. When Nicola was called by the police, she rushed to the flat where she confirmed to them that Seb was looking after the flat for her and that she also knew the lad had prior convictions but he was a family friend. The officer was unable to say who had made the call, saying they only responded to them, but Seb was convinced that Phelan had blown their cover.
