Three Afghan soldiers who fled from a base on Cape Cod over the weekend were caught Monday trying to sneak into Canada.

The three members of the Afghanistan National Army were in Massachusetts along with some 200 other foreign soldiers for training exercises before they disappeared Saturday. After a three-day manhunt, they were found trying to cross the Rainbow Bridge, which connects New York to Canada near Niagara Falls, according to NBC.
