That from Trail and greater detachment RCMP who said on April 20th, the bear successfully opened the door and climbed inside. however, the door closed behind him and he became trapped.

ā€œFront line RCMP officers attended and strategized a plan to help the bear escape without injury to anyone or the bear,ā€ said Cst. Sherri Karn. ā€œWith both police cruisers nosed into the front of the truck, a long rope was then tied to the driver’s side door handle. With both police officer’s safely inside their police vehicles the rope was pulled and the door opened allowing the black bear to exit the truck and make his way back to the forest.ā€
