A large bear was caught on video taking a Saturday stroll in East Vancouver.
Joe Chaput said he was at home doing some chores when he heard a siren and a loudspeaker coming from outside nearby.
“I heard a bunch of shouting and police over a speaker. I looked out front and the neighbours were out,” Chaput told Global News.
He decided to check his home surveillance system and to his surprise, he had quite the large visitor in his front yard.
“There he was in my front yard (on video). It was big excitement for the neighbourhood.”
