Police asked anyone who might see the bear to not approach it, give it space, and let it enjoy an uninterrupted stroll through Pueblo.

When left alone, PPD said bears are typically not a threat to people and will eventually return to their natural habitat.

However, PPD announced at 10:15 a.m. the bear had been relocated.
