Honey, salmon…protein bars?
Police in North Vancouver are warning the public after a bear broke into a car and stole a box of protein bars left in the vehicle.
It happened early this morning in front of a home on Panorama Drive in Deep Cove. A red car was parked outside the house, and the owners woke up to find it badly damaged by a bear.
“There was evidence that it had consumed a box of protein bars that had been left in the vehicle.”
It’s the second time this week that a bear has broken into a car on the North Shore.

“The message to not leave any food items at all in your vehicle is one worth repeating. Bears have a very keen sense of smell and incredible strength enabling them to cause the damage they do!” said North Vancouver RCMP Cpl. Richard De Jong in a statement.
