Ocean no hiding place in police chase

Ocean no hiding place in police chase :

"TWO men who led police on an 80km road pursuit in South Australia then spent two hours in the ocean trying to escape arrest.
Not only did their escape plan fail – police finally entered the surf to arrest them – but they also needed hospital treatment for hypothermia."

We have more good eggs in the police than bad eggs. Most of them are really nice people, with a good manner and approach. I can only think of two who had bad reputations and that's years ago. They have such a lot of patience with kids, too ,I have found out since cars have been smashing into my garden! They have this very South Austrlian approach of giving people enough rope...to catch hypothermia! The two men they were chasing were armed robbers . It doesn't say what they were robbing, had robbed or were going to rob, but they had been chased from way down here up through the Expressway or Freeway (could even have been the good old South Road), probably to Glenelg North which is one of our plusher suburbs. The robbers then went into the ocean...not a good idea. You can't actually easily get away in Glenelg and the capacity to be caught is quite high. It was not warm last night so the guys would have been freezing. They probably also forgot our police are very fit, for the most part and one thing people can do here is swim really well. I wish they had it on video camera. It would make a great wee story!! I am glad it has been this funny because with the kids of weapons they had...and the chase, it could have had a bad ending.
