RCMP in Kitimat were alerted to an attempted break and enter from Wednesday… by a particularly agile bear.
A black bear was reportedly attempting to climb in to a residence through an exhaust vent, before giving up to snack on some nearby garbage.
Police managed to track the bear to an area near Colombia Ave and Yukon Street, where it scaled a tree to avoid them.
Police would like to remind residents to cover any exposed garbage and ensure it is properly secured.
Garbage is the number one human attractant for bears.
No further police action was taken at this time.
