A burglar tried to flee the scene of his crime on a skateboard but slammed into a wall after a short distance on Oct 22, in Nanjing, Jiangsu province.

Around 4.30 am, the thief stole a bag of auto parts from a warehouse and climbed down the wall.

As soon as the 30-year-old hit the ground, a security guard in the warehouse tried to capture him.

To the sentry's surprise, the thief jumped on a skateboard and fled.

But he was not so adroit on wheels and crashed into a wall and fell, making him an easy catch for the guard.
