Watch live: Bear spotted in Castaic neighborhood
A bear was spotted in a Castaic neighborhood Monday afternoon.
The bear was seen in a tree at Violin Canyon Road and Van Gorder Way before it hopped down and took off running.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed they had deputies on scene, as did the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Tim Daly of CDFW said they attempted to coax the bear down from the tree, but it was sleeping at the time.
It remains unknown what prompted the bear to leave the tree and run through the neighborhood.
