Deputies were called to a home in North Lake Tahoe Thursday after a hungry bear was found in the kitchen.

No injuries or property damage were reported.
Bears in the area are coming out of hibernation and are “hungry and fearless,” the Sheriff’s Office stated.
Residents were warned to “use utmost caution” if they should encounter a bear.
