AVON, CT (WFSB) -
Avon residents called police after a bear tried to get into a home this weekend and one neighbor got the whole incident on camera.
Neighbors talking to 911 dispatch stated that the bear was trying to gain access into a home on Stagecoach Road.
"My neighbor across the street just came over in a panic. She's a little old lady, screaming that a bear got on the back porch and is slamming on her glass door," one call to 911 stated.
Members of Department of Energy and Environmental Protection were not called to the scene. They said a bear "spent considerable time on a deck and was reluctant to leave." This incident was especially terrifying for the female homeowner who was baking brownies as the bear pressed up against her glass door.
"We have a bear attempting to get into a house and he's not afraid of noise, screaming or yelling or pounding," Avon resident Bob Belfiore said when he called 911
