Watch Police Use Peddle Boat To Catch Suspect In Weed Filled Lake

Police officers will go to great lengths to get their man. Run, jump fences, rain, snow, dark and blazing heat. When a suspect is on the loose, officers will be in pursuit. We've all seen the high speed chases that keep us locked in wondering when the car will flip. This one, well somebody could have flipped over, but they would have just got wet.

North of the border in Halifax Novia Scotia Canada. Police tracked down a robbery suspect with a brief foot chase, that then turned into a swim chase. Well, the suspect went for a swim. The officers in pursuit had to commandeer a paddleboard and a pedal boat to get their man. Which, I don't blame them...that "lake" looks disgusting.

My question is, when the officers arrived at the scene and decided to pursue this fella into the water, did they rock, paper scissors for the "right" to choose peddle boat first. I mean, that seems like the better nautical craft to catch the suspect. Good work by the officers to get their suspect and stay mostly dry while doing so.

LOOK: Here are the best lake towns to live in

Many of the included towns jump out at the casual observer as popular summer-rental spots--the Ozarks' Branson, Missouri, or Arizona's Lake Havasu--it might surprise you to dive deeper into some quality-of-life offerings beyond the beach and vacation homes. You'll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country's top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash's prison blues.
