[edit] Profile
DS Don Beech was considered to be one of the most corrupt officers in the show's history. His first appearance in The Bill was in 1995 and after four years of corruption, he fled in 2000 when all his crimes were exposed. His main crime that was exposed was the death of DS John Boulton. After his departure, his story continued in the special episode Beech on the Run in 2001. The episode followed Don Beech as he fled abroad to Australia to escape imprisonment. At the end of the episode Don Beech was supposedly killed off in an explosion.
Later that year he returned in a spin-off mini-series titled Beech is Back where it was revealed he had faked his death so he could secretly return to Britain. He then organised a robbery of a six million pound diamond to escape the country but his attempt failed when ex-CID officer Claire Stanton found him and brought him to justice and he was sentenced to life imprisonment for his crimes that he committed during his time in the police force and while he was on the run in Australia.
In 2004 he was seen again in prison and during a prison transfer he is able to escape.[1] He is currently on the run and his location is currently unknown.
