It may have been this friendly dog ​​that led officers to the suspect, who was later discovered hiding at the foot of the couch after officers lifted the furniture off the floor. The suspect was found wearing only his underwear for unclear reasons.

“We thought the man would be more comfortable in bed, so he will spend the next few hours in a custody cell – a little less pressure that way,” Bedfordshire Police continued in their post on Facebook.

One of the top comments on their video says: “I bet he was a whiz at hide and seek as a kid.”
