The investigation revealed a bear had been entering the vehicles. Officers spoke to residents in the area and discovered a bear had opened the doors of more than 10 vehicles over the previous nights, presumably looking for food.

Many of the vehicles entered by the bear were significantly damaged.

Police are asking residents to keep their car doors locked and make certain there is nothing inside their vehicles that could be food for a hungry bear.
