Hungry, powerful black bear tears apart car in West Vancouver to reach food
VANCOUVER — Police in West Vancouver have released photos of a car that they believe was torn apart by a black bear this weekend.
The photos show the rear passenger door of the car ripped back, its frame bent, side airbags trashed and seats shredded.
The attack was reported Sunday at a home in the upscale British Properties, and officers estimate damage at about $10,000.
Const. Jeff Palmer says police found hair and claw marks at the scene and are certain a black bear sniffed out a large amount of food that was left in the sedan overnight.
