'CRIMINALS' have been advised to brush up on their hide-and-seek skills after two wanted men tried to conceal themselves in furniture. 

One man was found hiding 'very badly' down the side of a bed and another was caught inside a wardrobe when Weymouth Neighbourhood Enforcement Team (NET) came knocking yesterday.

Officers say suspects attempted to stow themselves away in furniture during two separate incidents - but were soon found.

"The first male was arrested on prison recall after he was found hiding very badly down the side of a bed," a police spokesperson said.

"The second male was arrested for five outstanding court warrants after he was found hiding in the bottom of a wardrobe."

"Our advice to criminals is; you will need better hide and seek skills to escape ‘the NET.’"
