'Hank the Tank': DNA evidence spares 500lb burglar bear
California's burliest burglar is no longer the lone suspect in nearly 40 home break-ins across the Lake Tahoe region, wildlife officials have said.
Residents have made More Than 150 calls since Last Summer about " Hank the Tank" a 500lb (227kg) Black Bear with a raging appetite for human food.
But DNA samples have now linked at least two other bears to the Crime Scenes .
That means officials will no longer seek to put down The Wild animal.
" No bears will be euthanised, harmed, relocated to some facility or placed in a zoo, " said Peter Tira, a spokesperson for the California Department of Fish & Wildlife (CDFW).
CDFW will instead refocus its efforts on tagging The Bears for genetic data And Then releasing them into a nearby wild habitat, He Said .
Human-Bear conflicts happen almost daily in the Tahoe area, home to one of the highest concentrations of black bears in North America .
More Than 20,000 residents live in the area, situated on California's border with Nevada, and it is also a major tourist destination.
Stories of Hank's break-ins here have become a viral sensation.
According to CDFW, Hank does not fear humans, has come to associate them with access to food and knows How To use its size and strength effectively.
" When you have a Bear forcibly crashing its way through a garage door or ripping open a front door with people inside, that's pretty brazen and unusual, " Mr Tira told The Bbc .
On Wednesday, local police said they had been " inundated" with emergency calls about Hank.
" Please stop calling [us] to give your opinions about Hank, " they wrote on Facebook.
Officials and locals had been identifying the chunky criminal by his dark coat and exceptionally large size, apparently from skipping winter hibernation.
But in a statement on Thursday, CDFW said " identifying bears simply by their visible, physical characteristics can lead to misidentifying bears".
Genetic samples from a break-in Last Friday that was initially linked to Hank, instead came from a Female Bear not included in The Agency 's database.
Further DNA analysis of similar incidents indicated at least One More Bear - Another Female - is also involved.
The Agency has called on area residents to more carefully store food and trash to avoid attracting bears to The Neighbourhood .
