    Seems reasonable.

    A Canadian police force has released helicopter footage of cops using dogs to track down three teenagers who stole some candy.

    Despite resembling something Wikileaks might have released, the video in fact comes courtesy of the York Regional Police.

    According to the YRP, the teens snuck into Canada's Wonderland over the weekend, entered one of the stores in the amusement park, and stole some candy.

    When park security reported this, the police set out to bring them to justice with a canine unit and a helicopter equipped with thermal cameras. A police spokesperson told BuzzFeed Canada that both were already out on patrol when the call came in about a break-and-enter in progress.

    The three candy thieves were between 15 and 16 years old. They were found huddling under a tree when officers came upon them.

    Police say the video of the arrest was released "as a deterrent to anyone that is considering trespassing onto private property."
