Wanted man tries to evade police by hiding in shopping bag

A wanted man attempted to evade police detection with an unusual disguise - a bag over his head.

Bodycam footage released by Hertfordshire Constabulary on Tuesday (30 June) shows officers making their way through a property in St Albans as they searched for a suspected shoplifter.

Upon entering a bedroom, police removed a large, upturned shopping bag from the bed, revealing the suspect hidden underneath.

“How are you mate?” the officer laughed at the bizarre sight.

Sharing the footage, the force said: “We’ve seen some interesting attempts to avoid detection over the years. Putting a bag over your head can now be added to that list.”
