California bear blamed for five break-ins in two hours

June 14 (UPI) -- Authorities in California said a single bear was responsible for five break-ins in a two-hour period -- and one of the homes was occupied at the time.

The Sierra Madre Police Department confirmed officers responded Thursday to a northeastern neighborhood where a bear had broken into four homes and a garage between 12:30 p.m. and 2:15 p.m.

One of the homes was occupied at the time of the break-in, but the woman locked herself in a bedroom until the animal left and was not injured, police said.

Homeowner Laurie Devault said her neighbor captured video when the bruin broke through her screen door.

"It was a very polite bear," Devault told KNBC-TV. "It just opened up the freezer and took my packaged chicken. The neighbor filmed it with it hanging from its mouth."

Devault said the bear dropped the frozen chicken nearby, which police returned to her.

I don’t think that homeowner wants her frozen chicken returned to her, not after the chicken had been “ mouthed and munched on” by the slobbery bear. Just store it in the police evidence room. //

The bear should be killed. It is a clear danger to humans. Such behavior would not be tolerated if it was done by a human.

The article did not say what type of bear. That is how you know it was a black bear. /s

Exactly bears that invade human space should be killed.

“Authorities in California said a single bear was responsible for five break-ins...”

If he had been married, he would have had more restraint.

I disagree. This is in Los Angeles County. The DA, George Gascon, does not prosecute break-ins and robberies.
