Police have released video footage of the hilarious moment a female suspect was found hiding under a pile of children’s toys.
The 22-year-old woman had previously taunted officers online by commenting ‘hey guys’ under her own wanted appeal post on the force’s Facebook page.
She was located under the pile of toys at a home in Fallowfield, Manchester, but her identity remains a mystery.
Greater Manchester Police arrested the woman on suspicion for failing to appear at court for three counts of assault of an emergency worker, drugs offences and theft.
The woman was further arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer and remains in custody for questioning by detectives.
In the bodycam footage of the arrest, which occurred on Thursday, January 30, officers can be seen uncovering the woman who is lying on her back with her arms crossed beneath the pile of toys.
An officer is heard communicating with others, saying ‘she’s here’ as he lifts toys off of her body.
She is then heard groaning before the officer shouts ‘Get up now!’.
GMP’s detective inspector Natalie McDonald said: ‘We currently have a woman in custody being questioned by detectives thanks to the swift actions of our officers.
‘We want to thank everyone who engaged with our post, it ultimately helped us to locate and arrest this woman and we have dedicated teams of officers across Manchester who are actively seeking and arresting those who are wanted.’
