A black bear that had become conditioned to associating people with food destroyed three tents at a popular campground on southern Vancouver Island on July 26. The bear also tried to get into an occupied vehicle. The campground was evacuated and closed to visitors after the commotion.
The bear had entered French Beach Provincial Park, located west of Sooke, a town about 38 kilometres from Victoria, on Wednesday morning, according to CTV News.
