A man wanted by Swadlincote Police thought he could fool officers by hiding under a blanket in the cupboard.
Officers arrested the man after searching the house - and found the 'undercover' suspect only for his 'big feet' to give him away.
Swadlincote SNT posted photos of the incident on their Facebook page and gave more details.
They said: "If we can find you hiding in the loft? If we will run through garden fences to arrest you?
Are we not going to look in the cupboard? "Would we not recognise you hiding under a blanket? "SNT have been out again doing their early morning door knocks for wanted offenders. "Despite being told the offender was not at the address, officers still searched. "A 36-year-old male, has been arrested after being found hiding in the cupboard under a blanket, his big feet gave him away. One more charged and remanded for committing thefts in South Derbyshire. "Sergeant Tarj Nizzer said: "If you run from Swadlincote police you will only go to jail tired, in this case he had his blanket ready for his sleep in the cell.'"
