A black bear has broken into a house in Colorado — before escaping by smashing through a wall.
Estes Park police said the house was empty during the break-in on Friday night and the bear was probably attracted by the smell of rubbish.
“Upon officer’s arrival, said bear forcibly breached a hole in the wall like the ‘Kool-Aid Man’ and made its escape,” the police department wrote on Facebook.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife says bears have broken into over 35 vehicles and nine houses in Estes Park recently.
