'How are you mate?': UK police find man hiding with a bag on his head

A wanted man in the UK put a bag over his head in a failed attempt to hide from police. A video of the arrest in St Albans, just north of London, was shared by the Hertfordshire Constabulary on social media. The police bodycam footage, which has elevator-style music in the background, opened with a woman answering the door to an officer. He asked the woman if a man the police were looking for was at the house, to which she replied, "No." The officer asks: "Can we come in and have a look?" Entering the house, the officer asked if the man had been around at all. The video then cuts to the officer going into a room, where he spots a piece of furniture with a bed and a bag on it. He moves the bag aside to find a man's head under it, using a duvet to hide the rest of his body. "Hello, how are you, mate?" the officer bellowed before chuckling. The hiding man replies, "alright", before getting up to be handcuffed. In its caption on Instagram, Hertfordshire Constabulary said: "When life gets intense… go incognito… but we will still find you. "We’ve seen some interesting attempts to avoid detection over the years. Putting a bag over your head can now be added to the list. "Please don’t put a bag over your head when hiding from us, it’s not safe (just in case you were thinking about it)."
