Three Bears Enjoy Garbage Day Buffet

A mother bear and two cubs are caught on camera as they raided trash bins

A mother bear and her two cubs knocked over trash bins Tuesday during their late-night search for food in the foothill communities of Monrovia and Arcadia

The bears were caught on camera in the 2200 block of Highland Oaks Drive (map) in Arcadia, just south of Angeles National Forest and the Arcadia Wilderness Park, as they wandered across streets and yards. The bears left a trail of toppled trash bins in the neighborhood.

Video showed the mother and one cub in a driveway before a second cub bounded from nearby bushes to join the family.
