A woman who taunted police by commenting ‘hey guys’ on her own wanted appeal posted to a force’s Facebook page has been arrested.
Greater Manchester Police located the woman, who has not been named, hiding under a pile of children’s toys at a home in Fallowfield, Manchester.
The 22-year-old was arrested on suspicion for failing to appear at court for three counts of assault of an emergency worker, drugs offences and theft.
She was further arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer. She remains in custody for questioning by detectives.
Body-worn video from the arrest on Thursday, January 30, shows officers uncovering the woman hiding underneath piles of children’s 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.”
