The lonely place?
The is used when you know the exact place, so the lonely place is wrong, a lonely place is correct. Came upon, broke upon are phrases, so it's good to use any of those two.

The police broke upon the robbers when they were at the lonely place to divide their booty.
At should be used in place of in.
At should be used in place of in.

If we use broke then we have to write "broke into".
Because "broke into" is a phrase.
I agree with @Sumaira.
