A thief was arrested after he repeatedly stopped during a police pursuit to smoke crack.

Police say the man, 45, from Stratford, Connecticut, had been driving a stolen car in Bridgeport.

The chase began after he attempted to pay for petrol with cards belonging to the car owner.

With police on their way, he abandoned the car and ran off on foot, reports the Connecticut Post.

After climbing over a fence, he stopped to smoke crack before running off again, officers say.

He headed off through the local seaport, and went to stand on a boat - where he had another crack break.

The man was still on the boat smoking crack when officers apprehended him.

Unbelievable. What more can you say about this?
