This is the moment a bungling burglar tries to escape police by swimming through a lake to reach a “desert” island.
Chad Lambert was challenged by Bristol shop staff after he stole a bottle of wine and cash from the till on 19 October.
When challenged, the 35-year-old ran off into Eastville Park, discarded his clothing and ran into the lake, before proceeding to swim to a small island in the middle of the lake.
The police drone unit was deployed to track Lambert and a boat used to reach him.
Lambert, of Cobourg Road, Bristol, was sentenced to 26 weeks in prison on 21 October after he admitted to aggravated burglary.
