On camera caught three bears sneaking through the dog door at home in Nanaimo, British Columbia, surveillance footage shows

NANAIMO, British Columbia — A trio of bears entered a home in Nanaimo, British Columbia, on December 2 by squeezing through a dog door.

Footage captured on Michael Kellam’s security camera shows the bears sniffing around outside before beginning to squeeze through a dog door.

Kellam told Storyful that he and his wife were woken up by their dog barking in a way they had never heard before. After the couple realized there was a bear in their home, Kellam said they both “quickly retreated to our bedroom and slammed the door.”

“It wasn’t until I looked at the security footage that I realized we had three bears in the house,” Kellam said. He told Storyful that inside, the bears opened several kitchen cabinets and drawers, and that the animals ate his dog food, cereal, and fruit.

“The bears came back later that morning and again the next day,” Kellam said. “They broke into our three cars, two at our neighbors and two down the street.”

“They were caught by wildlife officials and removed from the area,” Kellam added.
