A man has been arrested in Dumfries and Galloway over the weekend for attempting to hide from cops in an unusual place.

The information was shared on the Police Scotland Dumfries & Galloway Twitter page, though details are light.

No information has been shared on where in Dumfries and Galloway the man was arrested or why he was arrested.

However, police arrested the man after he attempted to hide in a cupboard to avoid officers at a home.

Unfortunately for the man, he lost the game of hide and seek, and spent time in custody over the Easter weekend.

Police said: "A bad day for one male wanted on warrant who has been trying to avoid us!

"He was arrested by Dumfries CID officers after trying to hide from them in cupboard. He is now enjoying our custody facilities."
