JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska — Two bears on an Alaska military base raided a Krispy Kreme doughnut van that was stopped outside a convenience store during its delivery route.
The driver usually left his doors open when he stopped at the store but this time a sow and one of her cubs that loiter nearby sauntered inside, where they stayed for probably 20 minutes Tuesday morning, said Shelly Deano, the store manager for Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson JMM Express.
The bears chomped on doughnut holes and other pastries, ignoring the banging on the side of the van that was aimed at shooing them away, Deano said.
"I was beating on the van and they're not moving. I could hear them breaking open the packages and everything," she said. "I was like, 'They don't even care.'"
When the bears couldn't be roused, base security was called and sounded sirens meant to scare away the bears, she said.
The bears eventually came out and wandered in front of the convenience store and gas station a bit before heading into the woods.
It's not unusual to see bears on base or around the store but nothing like this has happened before, Deano said, adding that the delivery driver now closes his doors when he stops at the shop.

Bears were found an hour later in a sugar coma sleeping soundly...
The bears got it before the cops did lol
Darnnn... now I want a doughnut
Da Bears! They beat me to it. 😉
Christie will go to great lengths apparently, now he dresses in a bear costume and has an accomplice.
Free donuts. Reparations for past mistreatment.
I saw “Bears” in the headline and immediately thought they were in Alaska looking for a new quarterback. They’ve tried everything else and come up empty.
Those bears are gonna be talking about their ‘Best. Day. Ever. EVER!’ for years to come. :)
Christie supporters in Alaska. Whodda thunk!?
Bears are not stupid ,LOL
I would have suspected it was Chris Cristie were it not for the picture.
The new Allstate Mayhem ad where he’s a bear just out of hibernation tearing into a car came out right after we’d returned from an Alaska trip. The parking lot at our resort hotel had big signs warning you not to leave food or food packaging in your car. It was amusing to see the ads show up right after we’d just seen warnings about it on our trip.
Here’s the ad if someone doesn’t know what I’m talking about.

Dogs. Dogs frighten bears. Some female doctor in New Hampshire had Jack Russel terriers who chased a dog away from her bird feeder. They had access to the porch when she was at work, and broke a newel post to get a the poaching bear.
The bears had been staking out this heist for a while.
While the bears are not stupid, the delivery driver is. He left the doors of the delivery van open while making the delivery to the convenience store.
Where do da Bears keep da doughnuts? In da Refrigerator.
This is approximately what one will get in the city-operated food stores of Chicago in terms of self-serve checkout.
It is more convenient with the delivery vans.
They are pretty smart. :O)
Perry ate all the donuts
