The 22-year-old female, who was not identified by Greater Manchester Police, was busted after she commented, “Hey guys,” on a Facebook appeal post by the department, according to a news release.
The woman’s name was also blurred out in a screenshot of her social media comment.
She was arrested by the Manchester City Centre team after she was found hiding unsuccessfully underneath “a pile of children’s toys” in a room at a property in Fallowfield, England.
“The 22-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion for failing to appear at court for three counts of assault of an emergency worker, drugs offences and theft,” police said in the release.
“She was further arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer,” cops added. “She remains in custody for questioning by GMP detectives.”
