Inability to motor through snow hamstrung a burglar's evasion attempt in West Nashville early Wednesday, according to Metro Police.

NASHVILLE, TN -- Getting stuck in the snow isn't uncommon round these parts, but most Middle Tennesseans don't bet on their winter driving skills as a crucial part of a caper.

A security company saw two suspects breaking into Wirehouse, a Centennial Boulevard business, using bolt cutters, according to Metro Police. The company alerted police and then noticed the suspects' car was stuck in the snow.

The pair tried to run, but police said they were able to set up a perimeter and use K9 officers to track one of the men, who was arrested.
