BEAVER CREEK, Colo. -- A momma bear and two baby bears accused of breaking into at least two homes have been relocated, according to the Vail Daily newspaper.The newspaper reports the bears were also spotted on a hiking trail and a road, where they refused to move for a pickup truck.Officials with the Colorado Division of Wildlife said the bears had to be relocated because of the break-ins and because they had become a nuisance.
The bears were taken to an area south of Silt, about an hour from Beaver Creek.Officials believe the bears should be able to find food there.If they do reappear around Beaver Creek, the bears will be euthanized, as mandated by Colorado state law.They are the first bears to be relocated this summer from the Vail area.
