Three young people have been arrested after police say they were caught breaking into Canada's Wonderland and taking candy.

On Thursday, April 8, shortly after 10:30 p.m., police were called by Canada's Wonderland security who had seen three people in the closed park.

The young men were seen dressed in dark clothing, their faces covered, going into one of the stores on the property and taking candy. They left the store going into the park.

York Regional Police's helicopter Air2 came on the scene a short time later, with the use of an FLIR camera, officers located the suspects hiding beneath a tree. Officers in Air2 directed officers with the Canine Unit to the area where the suspects were hiding and they were arrested without further incident.

Two of the suspects were 16, the third was 15, all from Vaughan. Police say the youths were co-operative and remorseful for their actions. They were released into the custody of their parents and entered into the Community Referral Program under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Video captured by Air2 is being released as a deterrent to anyone considering trespassing onto the private property.
