États-Unis : Un jeune ours pénètre dans un supermarché et court dans les rayons en pleine journée

INTRUSION • A young bear entered a supermarket in southern Arizona, USA, on Monday, wandering through the aisles without causing any damage before leaving.

There was a slight panic at a supermarket in Oro Valley, southern Arizona , on Monday. While several customers were quietly doing their daytime shopping, a young bear burst into the store, reports the Associated Press .

The animal had already been spotted in the area over the weekend and that morning near the store . According to witnesses and a police spokesperson , the bear entered the supermarket through the main entrance after bumping into the automatic doors.

A “thrilling” scene

He was then filmed running randomly through the aisles, presumably in a panic. Alerted, the police intervened and prioritized helping store employees get all staff and customers out so that no one was injured.

"He just ran around," the law enforcement spokesperson reported. "I don't think he caused any damage." Indeed, preliminary information suggests the bear didn't damage anything and didn't consume or destroy any food. He eventually found his way out and fled before authorities could catch him.

The scene was filmed by a wildlife photographer who was returning from a mountain hike, The Independent reported . "A lot of people were scared or in shock. One woman was crying," the man said, describing the encounter as "thrilling."
