ALTAMONTE SPRINGS --

Police in Altamonte Springs were called to the Country Creek Subdivision Sunday morning after getting a report of a bear trapping a person in their car.

When they got there, officers came face to face with the bear, but it then ran off into the woods.

Several neighbors also found their trash cans tipped over. They say it’s been a daily occurrence for about the past week.

Wildlife officials were not called.
