In the video, the man can be seen trying to drive away before reversing into a pile of snow and getting very stuck.

He attempts to push his Toyota Yaris out of the snow pile, and then gets on the ground and starts trying to dig his way out.

Additional footage of the incident posted by Instagram account straightouttatha6ixtv shows the thief's vehicle flanked by two police cruisers.

He's then forced out of the car by several officers and arrested.

Peel Police confirmed to Narcity that the man, a resident of Brampton, was arrested and charged with one count of fraud and one count of theft.

He was released on conditions and will be summoned to the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton on a later date.
