Police say the man missed his calling: "He should have been a marathon swimmer."
A suspected boat burglar has been arrested after jumping into the tide and leading police on a slow-motion chase in the Bay of Islands.
He refused to come ashore, instead rowing towards the ferry ramp then abandoning his dinghy and swimming towards Russell.
Officers, including a police dog, followed him in an inflatable boat.
The police spokesperson said the man had missed his calling: "He should have been a marathon swimmer."

I'd love to know what his plan was with this. Did he think they would give up and go home?
