California Wildlife officials captured a 500-pound bear nicknamed ‘Hank the Tank’ on Friday.

California wildlife officials have confirmed that a 500-pound bear that has terrorized the Lake Tahoe area since 2022 and destroyed 21 homes has been captured. The three bear cubs and the bear will be moved to a wildlife sanctuary in Colorado, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said.

In February 2022, the bear lost its fear of people. Police used bean bags, sirens and stun guns to fend off the bear. The bear has destroyed at least 21 homes and caused widespread property damage.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife reported that most of the damage caused by bears captured occurred during the winter.
