You can run but you can't hide. That is what Police in Weymouth and Portland are telling criminals.

Officers made two separate arrests yesterday following visits to two addresses.

However, it didn't prove too difficult to find who there were looking for.

A spokesperson for Weymouth & Portland Police said:

"The first male was arrested on Prison Recall after he was found hiding very badly down the side of a bed. The second male was arrested for five outstanding Court warrants after he was found hiding in the bottom of a wardrobe….!"

"Our advice to criminals is; you will need better hide and seek skills to escape ‘the NET’!"
