D.I. Banks (Helen Kay)

D.I. Banks was the police officer who investigated the hit-and-run on Patrick Blake in October 2014. Unaware that Sienna Blake had mowed him down and framed Maxine Minniver for the crime, D.I. Banks arrested and charged Maxine after finding her engagement ring on the passenger seat.
In January 2015, D.I. Banks investigated the illegal selling of painkillers, interviewing Peri Lomax and Nancy Osborne. However, Jack Osborne lied that the painkillers belonged to him and D.I. Banks was convinced. In June 2015, D.I. Banks questioned Dylan Jenkins after Sienna accused him of drugging and attempting to rape her daughter Nico Blake.
In August 2015, D.I. Banks arrived at The Loft with a search warrant after Dylan planted drugs in the club to frame his father. However, Dylan felt guilty and ended up taking the drugs back, resulting in D.I. Banks not finding anything. In May 2016, D.I. Banks released Pete Buchanan after he attempted to flee the village with underage Cleo McQueen, telling John Paul McQueen that there were no grounds for charges to be laid.
