A man was found hiding in a Scunthorpe museum following an early hours break-in.
Humberside Police say they were called to the North Lincolnshire Museum, in Oswald Road, at around 4am this morning (Friday, October 25) after a reported burglary.
It’s alleged forced entry was made to the premises and, upon searching the building, officers located a man hiding under a display cabinet.
North Lincolnshire Council told the BBC none of the museums exhibits had been damaged but 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.”
A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of burglary and was in police custody on Friday morning assisting officers with their enquiries.
