Police in the UK discovered a suspect hiding in an unusual location while serving a warrant, according to bodycam footage recently shared on social media.
Bedfordshire Police shared the video on Facebook, where it has garnered over 138,000 views. The video shows the suspect, clad in undergarments, concealed beneath a couch.
“Look, he’s hiding in the sofa,” an officer says to the suspect. “Out you come.”
“We’ve seen some things in our time, but we must say this is a first!” wrote the Bedfordshire Police on Facebook on October 11.
According to their post, the Biggleswade Community Policing Team was executing a warrant and “thought there was nothing more to be found in the property bar a friendly dog.”
It was possibly this friendly dog that led officers to the suspect, who was found hidden beneath the couch after officers lifted the furniture. The suspect was discovered wearing only his undergarments.
“We thought the man would be more comfortable tucked into bed, so he’ll be spending the next few hours in a custody cell – little less of a squeeze that way,” continued the Bedfordshire Police in their Facebook post.
One top comment on their video reads, “Bet he was ace at hide n seek as a kid.”
Bedfordshire Police did not immediately respond to Digital’s request for comment.
