Overview
- Residents about a half-mile from the first site say a bear has moved under their house, and it remains unclear if it is the same animal.
- The BEAR League said it was contacted by the second homeowner but did not disclose when the call came or whether it will respond.
- State wildlife officials are reviewing video to determine if the new sighting involves the previously evicted bear.
- Last week, a BEAR League volunteer crawled into Ken Johnson’s Altadena home to coax the bear out, and an electrified mat later deterred an attempted return seen on Jan. 7.
- Earlier efforts by state officials using air horns and paintballs failed to dislodge the bear, which had caused damage including twisted gas lines and toppled bricks.
