When the officers arrived, they first thought no one was inside as a sliding glass door was unlocked, so they went into the home.

"That’s when they found Martin Gonzalez-Garcia, 23, and Ashializ Roldan-Oscasio, 22," reads part of the statement.

As it turned out, the officers had been looking for Mr Gonzalez-Garcia after they had identified him as the individual spotted on CCTV footage burglarizing a store where multiple things were stolen.

Burglars were aware stealing is wrong

When questioned, the couple told authorities that they were in the home because they needed somewhere to spend the night.

Liz told officers that they chose to call them because they not only wanted help with moving the items, but were also trying to get a ride to the airport to go to New York for the weekend.

“Martin stated on a recorded statement he did commit the burglary at the Dollar General because he needed to get items to sell it to make money,” his arrest affidavit says.

The accused admitted that he was aware whatever he was doing was wrong, but needed the money.

He added that he knew the house he broke into was not his and did not have permission to be in, but had to get inside because it was freezing outside.

“Deputies did help them with their belongings, and did give them a ride, but it wasn’t to the airport," the police report added.

The Independent reports that Mr Gonzalez-Garcia has been charged with burglary and theft while his girlfriend will face burglary of a residence charges.
