A burglar has been discovered by police hiding in an exhibit after allegedly breaking into a museum.

Officers went to North Lincolnshire Museum in Scunthorpe after an alarm was activated at about 04:00 BST on Friday.

After a two-hour search with a police dog, "a man was located buried away under a very impressive display", according to Humberside Police.

North Lincolnshire Council said it was "not the Night at the Museum we wanted".

A council spokesperson added: "Officers from Humberside Police were quickly on the scene.

"Sadly, they didn’t find Rexy, Dexter and Ben Stiller but did discover a person hiding behind our display on pioneering archaeologist Ethel Hutchinson."
