Bear Breaks Into Bloomfield Home: Report

BLOOMFIELD, CT — Another day, another report of a bear invading the territory of humans ... this time in Bloomfield.

According to WVIT Channel 30, a bear was euthanized in Bloomfield after it had broken into a home in town Wednesday evening.

Reportedly, the bear got inside and then left on its own, but it was close enough to be discovered by state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection police, WVIT reports.

Bear sightings in central Connecticut have skyrocketed this spring, with experts citing a combination of a population increase and development in their habitats as being a prime cause.
