D.S. West

D.S. West was a police officer who investigates a burglary at 45 Albert Square and interviews the Fowler family. The following day, he and his colleague PC Gifford take Arthur Fowler to the police station where they question him for five hours until Arthur admits to staging the burglary to cover his crime of stealing his Christmas Club's money to pay for his daughter Michelle Fowler's wedding. West then formally arrests Arthur, who is shocked by this as he never expected to be arrested. West is also present at Arthur's trial in May 1987, where Arthur sentenced to 28 days imprisonment for the theft. The following week he apologises to Arthur's wife, Pauline Fowler at Debbie Wilkins and Terry Rich's engagement party.
