A man who shoplifted from a Coconut Creek Walgreens was captured by police after he tried to hide from them in a resident’s backyard, authorities said.

The resident, who lives in the Coco Palms neighborhood, spotted Christopher Briggs, 37, hiding in her backyard on the morning of March 1 and called 911, according to a post on the Coconut Creek Police Facebook page.

It turned out police were looking for Briggs, who had just shoplifted from a nearby Walgreens and taken off running, police said. Briggs tried to hide from officers in the woman’s backyard, “but he lost that game of hide and seek,” the post states.
