THIS is the moment cops find a teenage suspect hiding inside a bed after a double shooting.
The dramatic clip shows officers combing a house before yanking up a divan bed and revealing Ronnie Hill, 18, wedged under the wooden slats.
One officer, holding the mattress, can be heard shouting: “Show me your hands, show me your hands!” as the stunned teen lies motionless beneath the frame.
Ronnie Hill was part of a gang armed with knives and a gun that fired shots at two brothers as they walked a dog in the early hours of October 26, 2024.
Three of the men were arrested in December 2024 but Hill evaded capture for three months, when police found him hiding inside the divan bed at a friend’s house alongside a loaded handgun, an imitation firearm and ammunition.
One of the victims was left paralysed after suffering a gunshot wound to his back, while the other suffered a serious hand injury.

Five 9mm Makarov casings and a balaclava with one attacker’s DNA were found at the scene.
Detectives traced the getaway car through CCTV to identify Ronnie Hill, Esmaela Seidi, a 16-year-old boy and Kennedy Senga, who had travelled armed from South Woodford.
An eight-week trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court ended October 20, 2025, with unanimous guilty verdicts, leading to sentences totalling over 80 years handed down on January 23, 2026.
Ronnie Hill, 18, of no fixed address, got 24 years for two counts of attempted murder and firearm offences.
Esmaela Seidi, 18, of Kitchener Road, Forest Gate, received 18.5 years for two counts of attempted murder.
A 16-year-old from Canning Town was jailed for 14.5 years for two counts of attempted murder and firearm possession with intent to endanger life.
Kennedy Senga, 19, of Running Waters, Brentwood, got 21 years for the same charges.
Abdul Ahmed, 21, of Coleman Road, was sentenced to 2.5 years for assisting Hill by helping him hide.
Detective Sergeant Ryan Findleton, who led the investigation, said: “This was a shocking and targeted act of violence that left an innocent man with life-changing injuries.
“The sentences passed today reflect the tireless work of our officers to bring these dangerous individuals to justice.
“We hope this provide some comfort to the victims and the wider community.
“Those who brandish weapons on our streets should be under no illusion that we will do everything in our power to ensure criminals who threaten the safety of Londoners face a lengthy time behind bars.
“Thanks to this relentlessness, we have seen attempted murder charges for firing weapons nearly doubling since 2023, with sentences now typically between 20 and 35 years.
“This shows the work of our dedicated officers and staff to suppress violence has made London safer, with fewer people being killed and seriously injured on our streets.”
