A WANTED man was found hiding under a large pile of clothes inside a Chester flat.

The city’s police officers have now proclaimed themselves ‘hide and seek champions’ after making the discovery in Blacon on Friday (November 16).

They wrote on Facebook: “Officers on B Block have tonight arrested a male who had been wanted since the beginning of October.

“The male tried to hide under a large pile of clothes inside a flat in Blacon, but he was quickly found. #HideAndSeekChampions.”

It is not known if the man was wanted in connection with laundering and The Standard has requested more information on the incident from Cheshire Police.

The social media post gave Facebook users a laugh, with one mum writing: “Never thought of hiding under a pile of clothes. I will try this whilst playing hide and seek with the kids!”
