Many children slip under the bed to hide from ghosts and goblins but one local robber decided to use the same ploy to hide from police.
Shelburne RCMP responded to a call of a break and enter on Woodlawn Drive on Saturday night.
While at the scene, police received a second report of a break and enter down the road.
Police say they eventually found the seventeen-year-old hiding under the bed.
The accused Shelburne resident appeared in Yarmouth Provincial Court on Monday to face two charges of break and enter and one charge of breaching probation.
