Training wheels of justice!
A quick-witted Colorado cop commandeered a child's bike to chase and apprehend a fleeing criminal, hot pursuit video showed.

Tar's personal camera captured him quickly jumping on a small green bike from a family's yard and riding down the street in pursuit of the alleged thief.

Tarr was able to catch up and take the suspect into custody a short time later with the help of other officers, cops said.
“When you are a police officer on a mission to protect your citizens, nothing will stand in your way, even if your police car is not nearby and the suspect is speeding on a motorcycle,” the police department said in a statement. statement.
“When it comes to the Men and Women in Blue and their pledge to protect and serve, it's not about the wheels that drive them, it's about the heart and dedication behind them.”
