• A police officer in Leicestershire, England, finally got his wish, to "tick off a water-based pursuit in landlocked Leicester," on April 28.
The 37-year-old perp was wanted for suspicion of assault and breaching a restraining order, Leicestershire Live reported.
Police located his narrowboat, which has a top speed of 4 mph, on the Grand Union Canal, and one officer rode his bike alongside the boat for 8 miles as others waited for it at Lock 37.
"The suspect was arrested as he left the boat to travel through a lock," a spokesperson said. [Leicestershire Live, 4/29/2021]
