An Alberta felon is behind bars after he was found hiding inside of a sofa in an East Vancouver home Tuesday afternoon.

Vancouver Police say the Police Fugitive Unit received a tip that wanted felon Adam Harlock was living in an East Vancouver home. The 36 year old man was on the run after he was sentenced to three and a half years in jail for drug related offences.

Police, armed with a search warrant, entered the home to find Harlock. He was nowhere to be seen and officers were about to give up their search when a police dog began to focus on a sofa in the living room. Officers removed the fabric bottom and low and behold, there was Harlock hiding inside.

“In my 24 years of police service, I have never in my career seen a suspect hide inside the body of the sofa,” says VPD Inspector Ian Upton.

Harlock is now being returned to Alberta to serve his sentence for the drug offences.
