Juvenile Bear Keeps Breaking Into Homes In Aspen
ASPEN, Colo. (CBS4) - A trap has been set for a bear that's been breaking into homes in Aspen.
The animal got into two homes Saturday morning in the Burlingame neighborhood but also broke into several others earlier in the week.
The Aspen Daily News reports the juvenile bear that weighs about 100 pounds got in through open windows each time.
