THIS is the moment an alleged teen burglar is found hiding inside a wheelie bin by cops as they pull him out by his legs.

The boy was discovered after a police chase at 3.50am following reports of a break-in with cops blasting the suspect for his “rubbish” hiding spot.

After arriving on-scene, Bolton Neighbourhood officers discovered a group of people had attempted to break into a garden shed.

They then searched through nearby gardens before undertaking a foot chase.

The body-cam footage shows cops shining a torch into an overturned bin in Farnworth, Manchester.

They then discover two black shoes poking out as the teen’s hiding spot is uncovered.

An officer shouts: “He is inside. Oi, out you come now.”

The 17-year-old suspect is swiftly handcuffed and arrested on suspicion of burglary.

A teenage girl, 16, was also arrested on suspicion of burglary.

Both teenagers have been released on police bail as attempts to identify and locate other potential suspects continue.

Sergeant Emily Fogg said: “The boy clearly did a rubbish job of hiding from our neighbourhood officers.

“Our policing teams are committed to rooting out criminality in our communities and will continue to seek justice for victims of this invasive .

“Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting the log number 475 of 24/10/26.”
