SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (KNX) – Police said a bear wandered inside a Simi Valley residence over the weekend where it enjoyed some cake.

On Sunday around 10 a.m., the Simi Valley Police Department responded to the 2600 block of Blossom Street after a call from a woman who said a bear was inside her home, and that she and her son were locked in the upstairs bedroom.

It is believed the bear entered the house through the open kitchen door.

“As the officers entered the residence, they observed the bear in the kitchen.  It appeared the bear ate a freshly baked cake and rummaged through the refrigerator,” the department said.

Body camera footage posted by the department showed the bear running outside and through the backyard before climbing over the fence and running off.

The bear climbed a tree outside the yard before heading toward the hills.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife was notified.
