Police caught burglars who had broken into a cabin on Newfoundland's Southern Shore this week after their car got stuck in snow.
RCMP said they responded to a cabin alarm on Tuesday night in the Old Witless Bay Road area.
They found three people in a vehicle that was stuck in some snow.
Now, two men from St. John's, both 21, have been charged with breaking into a cabin, as well as a shed on a second property.
A woman, 19, was arrested with them, but was released without being charged.
