Car thief tries to evade police by driving into the ocean

The suspect shown driving the SUV into the ocean

A suspected car thief made a ‘very smart’ attempt at evading police by driving his SUV into the ocean, It was reported that the police have been chasing the suspect for over two hours in Perth, Australia when he found himself at the beach. With the police closing in and nowhere to go, the man appeared to make a last-ditch bid for freedom by accelerating straight into the breaking waves. I guess he for a moment thought he was driving a submarine!
As the vehicle was swamped, the suspect climbed out of the driver's-side window and onto the roof of the car. Officers had to battle heavy waves before he was rescued.
