Large Bear Breaks Into Ice-Cream Shop, Prefers Strawberry

The puns were out of control in the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office’s social-media post sharing photos of a bear in an ice-cream shop. The shop in northern California, just south of Lake Tahoe, didn’t sustain too much damage from the break-in, thankfully. But the large black bear did apparently dig into the strawberry ice cream before wildlife officials chased it out.

“In the early morning hours of last Sunday, August 17th, Deputies were dispatched to a call for service at the Ice Cream Shop at Camp Richardson in South Lake Tahoe,” wrote the Sheriff’s Office in an Instagram post sharing the photos. “The deputies could barely believe their eyes as they saw a large bear behind the counter of the shop. With some encouragement, the bear ultimately left, but only after showing interest in the strawberry ice cream. Thankfully, Fuzzy the bear caused barely any property damage and there was barely any cleanup.”
