A quick-thinking cop in the United States showed how to put technology to work in order to catch a suspect. A suspect that seemed to have their own quick thinking and found himself the most unusual hiding place: a trash can. Thanks to the help of a doorbell camera, a police officer was able to catch the suspect. In a clip shared on Twitter, a cop was seen asking a woman if she had seen a youngster around in a “red t-shirt”. While the woman explained that her husband and she are at work during the day. She also confirmed that they do not have any younger ones at home. The officer asked if she could use her doorbell camera to see if there was anyone like that around.
She instantly puts it to work and lets the officer on duty know that the suspect was hiding in her dumpster. As the camera angle switches, the cops are seen pointing their guns at the dumpster and the officer from before saying, “Open that lid, now, I know you are in there." As the youngster steps out, it seems like he has been caught. But the man in the red t-shirt tries to make a run for it. Of course, the police officers on the scene chase him down and catch him.

“I’ve been watching the tv series cops my whole life since the 90’s. I picked up some things on how they talk and the way they act. I’ve always noticed that you DON’T stop running, they always surround the area you have to go from backyard to backyard crossing over to the next block," read another tweet.
