A man in Canada has been arrested by the police after trying to rob a home. In a video making the rounds on social media, the thief can be seen trying to break into an apartment but then taking to his heels after realising that the owners were at home.
After getting into the car he had parked in the driveway, he put the vehicle in reverse and got stuck in the snow. This is where trouble started for the young man. He tried driving the car out of the snow but all to no avail. Then he got out of the car to clear the snow with his hands but the car still wouldn't move.
Frustrated and confused as to what next to do, the man tried pushing the car but couldn't move it. The couple could be heard in the background as they record the event. The husband tells his wife to call the cops.

Feeling pity for the thief, the husband asked the thief if he needed a shovel to clear the snow so he could escape. The wife called the police and within a few minutes, they showed up to arrest the thief.
Facebookers flooded the comment section of the post which was shared by a user identified as Horace Dockery.

Bimbo Owolabi commented:
"Shameless man, however are you sure the husband did not plan the robbery?"
Julien Jean-Pierre reacted:
"I am wondering why the idiot bothered to even park in the driveway."
Paul Brum commented:
"He’s better off in prison. What was on his mind?"
