Beverly Hills burglary suspect takes a tumble into swimming pool

A suspected burglar’s escape plan apparently wasn’t up to snuff, as he wound up slipping off a ladder and into swimming pool.

The Beverly Hills Police Department shared a video to Instagram Saturday depicting a man falling off a ladder while trying to climb the roof of a building in a home’s backyard on Jan. 6.

Unfortunately for him, he happened to land in the home’s pool.
