NORTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — A hungry bear broke into a California home and snacked on bread and fruit before sheriff’s deputies were able to chase it away.

The Placer County sheriff’s office posted a video of the bear inside the house on its Twitter account Thursday.

Bears are coming out of hibernation and deputies say this particular bear broke into a house at Northstar, North Lake Tahoe for groceries.

The homeowners called for help. In the video, the bear can be seen on a kitchen island.
