Bear Roams Around Duarte Parking Lots, Shops Overnight

A bear who was spotted overnight roaming around shops, restaurants and a car dealership in Duarte was making its way along the 210 Freeway early Friday.

Several witnesses reported seeing the bear at around 10:30 p.m. Thursday walk past the Temple City sheriff's station and toward a Target, authorities said.

Officers followed the bear while it checked out some cars at a CarMax parking lot before it headed south on Buena Vista Street under the 210 Freeway.

The bear roamed around neighborhoods and even outside a Walmart before it took a drink of water from a sprinkler.

It has been roaming around the area for several hours and was last seen around the 210 Freeway at Mountain Avenue.
