Man hiding from police blows cover with fart

The man was caught after he 'broke wind' (Picture: PA)

A man hiding from police in bushes gave himself away when he farted.

Officers from Nottinghamshire Police executed a warrant for an address in Harworth, near Doncaster, on Thursday and chased a man into woods near Brookside Walk.

But the search ended when they heard a noise “believed to be the sound of someone breaking wind from a nearby bush”, a force spokesman said.

Another man was found hiding behind a fireplace at the address.

Police said a 35-year-old man was arrested after failing to appear at court and a 30-year-old man was also arrested.
