Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) discovered some worrying information from PC Swirling in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale.

Over the past few months, when Mack isn’t helping to look after sister Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb), he’s clashing with Ross Barton (Michael Parr), who returned a few months ago.

Ross is the father of Charity Dingle’s (Emma Atkins) son Moses. When he got back to the Dales, he went up against Mack, who felt jealous due to his own connection with the young lad.

Mack’s hatred towards Ross was revisited in tonight’s episode, as the troublemaker rocked up the village in a new pick-up truck

Mack was walking out of the shop at the time, and pointed out to Ross that he had parked his vehicle in the wrong place.

Ross being Ross, simply did not care.

A while later, when Ross returned to Butlers, he was surprised to see Mackenzie sitting with PC Swirling. They explained to him that farm thefts in the area have increased in recent days.

Ross listened, but wasn’t really sure why Mack and Swirling were telling him.

They pointed out they needed to be vigilant in case the gang targets Butlers, and Ross happily agreed.

Mack then wondered if Ross was involved in one of the thefts in a neighbouring farm, because it’s awfully suspicious he’s been able to afford a brand new pick-up.

And of course, Ross denied it.
