DC Ashworth

DC Ashworth was the leading officer who conducted a drugs raid on the Rovers Return in August 2009.

In an attempt to get revenge on adversary Becky Granger after she'd been found not-guilty on a previous charge, corrupt officer DC Hooch had arranged for her ex-boyfriend Slug to plant drugs and money and, following the false tip-off, police officers obtained a warrant and conducted a thorough search of the premises and customers whilst Becky and Steve McDonald's wedding reception was in full-swing.

With the drugs and a large amount of cash "found" in Becky's handbag, she was arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply.
