If this was a slapstick comedy scene from a film, people would said it was too far-fetched to be true.

However, it's 100% real and is guaranteed to make you both scratch your head, wince with pain and roar with laughter in the space of 2 minutes and 34 seconds.

CCTV taken from a convenience store in Edmonton, Canada on Monday depicts quite the scene, as a 28-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman are first prevented from leaving because they tried to use a stolen credit card. 

When confronted, the pair resisted arrest and what follows is a scene that really deserves the Benny Hill music played over it. 

There's chasing, tasering, climbing into places they really shouldn't be climbing into and more - but the piece-de-resistance comes around the 2-minute mark, so for god's sake, keep watching until then (although make sure you're not eating or drinking anything at the time, because you will cover your screen with it.)

Absolute genius.
