THIS is the disturbing moment a woman who taunted cops online is caught hiding under a pile of children’s toys.
The brazen 22-year-old had previously commented “hey guys” on her own police wanted appeal before she was found and arrested.

Greater Manchester Police posted the appeal on Facebook after the woman allegedly failed to appear in court.
Her court appearance was relation to three counts of assault of an emergency worker, drug offences and theft.
After appealing for public help to find her, the audacious woman responded to the post herself.
Cops found the woman, who has not been named, hiding under a pile of children’s toys at a home in Fallowfield, Manchester.
Body-worn video from the arrest on January 30, shows officers uncovering the woman hiding underneath miscellaneous items.
The bizarre footage shows the woman being discovered amongst a cuddly Disney toy, plastic figurines, clothes, wrapping paper, and cardboard boxes.
Laying on her back on the floor of a bedroom, wearing purple leggings and a grey zipped jumper, she covers her face as cops find her hiding spot.
An officer is heard communicating with others, saying “she’s here” as he lifts toys off of her body.
She is then heard groaning before the officer shouts “get up now.”
The woman was arrested on suspicion of failing to appear in court and was further arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer.
Now the 22-year-old remains in custody for questioning by detectives.
GMP’s detective inspector Natalie McDonald said: “We currently have a woman in custody being questioned by detectives thanks to the swift actions of our officers.
“We want to thank everyone who engaged with our post, it ultimately helped us to locate and arrest this woman and we have dedicated teams of officers across Manchester who are actively seeking and arresting those who are wanted.”
Previously the woman had commented “hey guys” on her own wanted appeal.
The cheeky retort racked up hundreds of reactions online.
This isn’t the first time a wanted person has responded to their own appeal.
Daniel Kellaway, 29, couldn’t help but snap back at cops who described him as having a receding hairline.
Avon and Somerset Police published an appeal on Good Friday last year.
Kellaway commented on the site later that day saying: “No need to mention the hairline guys, I’m heading to Turkey to get it sorted then we will catch up.”
