Inspector Lestrade was a detective of Scotland Yard. He came from the old school that was more concerned with making an arrest than amassing evidence. In 1885, he unsuccessfully dragged a lake looking for Hatty Doran's body. Dr. John Watson's notes on the case were later written as a story by Arthur Conan Doyle and published in The Strand. In 1887, the Doctor saw him drinking in the Tank. (NA: All-Consuming Fire) In 1897, he took credit for the apprehension of Professor Janus. (DWAM: Bat Attack!)
