A suspect in a hit-and-run accident was caught by police while hiding in a wardrobe at his home in Qihe county, Shandong province.

The man surnamed Wang had been working as a lorry driver in Dongping county when he was involved in a collision with another truck on July 28, 2010. The driver of the other vehicle died in the incident and a passenger was left wounded. Wang abandoned his lorry and fled.

The police made three trips to Dongping looking for Wang. On Jan 6, they received a tip-off that he was back and went to his home. Despite members of his family saying he was not there, the police mounted a search and found him hiding in a bedroom wardrobe.
