It wasn’t the greatest escape route: a suspected thief was nabbed by officers in Halifax after he tried to paddle away.
Police responded to a break and enter call at a residence near an inlet called the Northern Arm at around 2:40 p.m. Wednesday.
The caller said the offender had fled in a red canoe.
A civilian allowed officers to borrow a boat to give chase but the suspect had already come ashore at a nearby park.
Police chased after the man on foot and took him into custody.
