Det. Constable Clark

The plain-clothed Detective Constable Clark interviewed Alec Gilroy as a follow-up to the statement he gave a PC after being mugged in Daisy Street in September 1988. As Alec's initial description hadn't given the police a lot to go on, Clark turned up at the Rovers to see if he'd remembered anything more that could help them find the attacker, however Alec had nothing to add to his original statement.

The man projected a grave presence in the Rovers, ordering a neat tomato juice as it was the only thing he could drink with his health (remarking after downing the drink that it would "keep the pain at bay"), and coolly listing the crimes he had to deal with to Alec, including a man exposing himself on a motorway. Alec was somewhat unnerved by his manner, and inferred that the police didn't believe him, especially when Clark remarked upon the unusually high sum Alec was carrying in his briefcase, despite Alec having told the police it wasn't all pub takings. Clark's line of questioning fulled Bet Gilroy's fears that Alec was running an insurance fiddle.
