POLICE nabbed a trio of thieves in southern Sweden after they used wheelchairs as getaway vehicles but literally forgot to cover their tracks.

Ttwo men and a woman allegedly cleaned out two basement storage areas of an apartment, Swedish news website The Local reported, citing the Kvallsposten newspaper.

Police caught up with them after they followed tracks in the snow left by two of the wheelchair-bound suspects.

"People had seen them at the spot, but they had managed to escape. However, since two of them were in wheelchairs, they did not get very far.

The tracks were not difficult to follow in the snow. We did not even need a dog," Leif Nilsson, a police officer, told Kvallsposten.

The suspects were all previously known to police, but none were known to have used wheelchairs before.

The police have not yet recovered some of the stolen goods, the report said.
