PC Yates

The unnamed Police Officer was called out in March 2010 when Peter Barlow tried to get his son Simon back from his grandfather George Wilson. With Peter going through one of his alcoholic stages, George thought he wasn't fit to look after Simon and he and his wife Eve inside their house. Peter tried to force his way into the property and when that failed, called the police. However Peter's incandescent rage (added to the fact that the Officer knew George socially) led to him arresting Peter for breach of the peace. He was released after a night in the cells.

In May 2010, the Officer visited Underworld with his colleague and broke the bad news to Carla Connor that her husband Tony Gordon had escaped from prison. They advised her to lock her doors and try and stay indoors, being with someone at all times. They gave the same advice to Roy Cropper who pointed out that it was difficult to keep doors and windows locked when running a café! Later on, they called at No. 7 when it became apparent that Tony had been a visitor there with an unsuspecting Sunita Alahan and the next day he tried to reassure Carla that the police had a lot of officers on the manhunt and involved with door-to-door enquiries and also went to Manchester Airport when they had a (false) tip-off that Tony had been seen there.
