ONE thing is for certain, you can run but you cannot hide forever.

According to Greater Manchester cops, a man wanted for car theft and failing to pay at a petrol station was sentenced to prison after police discovered him hiding inside a teddy bear in Manchester, England.

Joshua Dodson (18) had stuffed himself inside a giant teddy bear at his girlfriend’s place when he was trying to escape from cops.

The Sun reports that officers noticed a large bear breathing before finding Dobson hidden inside. His botched plan unfolded as cops were on the hunt for him after he stole a Mitsubishi SUV worth $10 364 (about R170 000).

He was caught when cops raided his girlfriend’s home and spotted the teddy bear in the corner, “breathing”.

Following that, he admitted to stealing the Mitsubishi SUV in May, Vauxhall Astra van in March, a toolbox and two tablets.
