A MAN who tried to give the police the slip last night in Derry was eventually arrested after he was found hiding in a shed following a chase on foot.
He was later taken to Strand Road police station where he spent the night before an appearance at Derry Magistrates’ Court this morning.
As a result, he has now been remanded in custody to Maghaberry prison.
This is how PSNI Foyle reported on the incident on its Facebooke page: “Ballyarnett Neighbourhood Team 
♂ spotted a fella last night, we’ll call him Fred, sat in a car 
in Cornshell Fields.
“Immediately we knew he was wanted on Bench Warrants but he clearly DID NOT want to check in for a single room with breakfast at Hotel Strand Road 
“He set off running 
♂ like my wain caught in the biscuit tin 
; he was down the road, through gardens and over fences.
“Fred must have thought he was further ahead than he was because suddenly he stopped and hid in a random garden Shed
“My hunch is that he believed he had passed the level, won a crystal 
and was now waiting in the Dome to collect as many Golden Tokens as possible #CrystalMaze
“We bluffed him and started shouting “I think he’s down there near the GAA pitch” (to no one in particular). This enabled us to stop throwing up
, catch our breath and approach ‘the Dome’.
“Unfortunately for Fred instead of 100 gold tokens and a commemorative Crystal he received a pair of Handcuffs and a trip to Court 
⚖️ via Hotel Strand Road.
“We’ve now upgraded him to business class at Costa Del Maghaberry,”
