Brazen Bear Roams Through California Neighborhood, Prompting School Lockdown

A brazen bear seen roaming through a residential neighborhood in San Dimas, California, on October 27 was “safely taken back into its natural habitat”, according to authorities.

Footage released by the San Dimas sheriff’s department shows the bear walking in front of a garage.

In a statement accompanying the video, the sheriff’s department said the bear was seen on campus at Shull Elementary School, which prompted an immediate lockdown of the school.

According to local reports, the bear was spotted wandering around through backyards in neighborhoods in north San Dimas and its cub was seen near the elementary school. Credit: San Dimas Sheriff via Storyful
