Parks and Wildlife responded and had to euthanize the bear. It is the same bear spotted in the area several times in the last few weeks. We are talking to the homeowner tonight.&#lt;/p&#gt;Posted by &#lt;a href=”https://www.facebook.com/KaseyKershnerKRDO/”&#gt;Kasey Kershner KRDO&#lt;/a&#gt; on Tuesday, July 4, 2017&#lt;/blockquote&#gt;&#lt;/div&#gt;”,”type”:”video”,”version”:”1.0″,”url”:”https://www.facebook.com/KaseyKershnerKRDO/videos/801735399986337/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE”,”width”:500}
The bear trashed the kitchen, rummaged through bedrooms and then busted out through a door, said Bill Vogrin with Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
Parks and Wildlife officers tracked the bear down Tuesday morning and euthanized it.
Parks and Wildlife tells KRDO it’s the same bear that was caught on camera last week in a garage in that same area.
