A Lithuanian Volvo driver has channeled James Bond by deploying spikes and a smokescreen in an effort to throw off police officers in hot pursuit.

Dashcam footage of the action-packed chase, which occurred on Thursday in the outskirts of the city of Marijampolė, shows the cops hot on the heels of a tan Volvo.

As the police car gets close, the Volvo driver lets off a smokescreen, quickly followed by spikes, which for a few seconds causes the cop car to stop at the side of the road.

But the cops quickly resume the chase, and are soon able to bring the Volvo driver to a stop by blocking its path and forcing it into a guard rail.

Lithuanian police uploaded footage of the chase to Facebook yesterday.
