SEE IT: Suspect discovered hiding in couch on police bodycam while serving arrest warrant


Police in the UK found their suspect in what they’re calling “a first” while executing a search warrant in an unlikely location, according to bodycam footage recently shared on social media.

Bedfordshire Police shared the video via Facebook in a post which now has over 138k views on the site. In the video, a suspect is seen from behind in his undergarments, hidden inside the base of a couch.

“Look, he’s hiding in the sofa,” said the officer 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 in Potton and “thought there was nothing more to be found in the property bar a friendly dog.”

It may have been that friendly dog that led officers to the suspect, who was then discovered hiding in the base of the couch after officers lifted the furniture off the floor. The suspect was found wearing only his undergarments for unclear reasons.

“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.”
