Ian MacArthur

Sergeant Ian MacArthur was a police officer who appeared whenever the police were required.

In January 1981, Sergeant MacArthur informed Richard Anstey and Joe Sugden that they had arrested Tom Merrick and Derek Warner for stealing trees from Home Farm last month. Sergeant MacArthur also caught the Beckindale burgular in April 1981, who had burgled multiple houses in Beckindale.

In November 1982, Sergeant MacArthur questioned Jackie and Sandie Merrick over the torching of an NY Estates caravan. Ian ended up arresting Jackie.

In April 1983, Sergeant MacArthur was called to Emmerdale Farm when a brutal fight broke out between Jack Sugden and a group of rustlers. During the fight, Jack whacked one of the rustlers in the head with a rock, knocking him unconscious.
