Up creek, no paddle

This crook was literally up the creek without a paddle.

A male suspect in a West Vancouver break and enter tried to flee the scene on a paddleboard.

Except he didn't have a paddle.

Police responding to an alarm call found the door ajar and no one home. When the homeowner returned, police viewed security video and broadcast a description of the male to fellow officers.

Meanwhile, several calls came in about a suspicious person in people's yards.

The suspect was quickly located, but took off on a bicycle before hopping on a paddleboard at a waterfront home and "heading out to sea."

The Vancouver Police Marine Unit apprehended the man, who faces several charges.
