A bear cub is seen wandering the streets of Ventura for several hours early Monday morning. Residents spotted the bear in the area of Hemlock and Santa Clara Streets. Ventura police officers arrived on scene and found the bear wandering in the street. At one point the bear climbed into a tree in front of a home. Neighbors in the area say they were wondering why dogs were barking, but they're not too surprised to hear it was a bear. The bear reportedly weighs about one hundred pounds. Police followed it around for about three hours to make sure it didn't become aggressive or hurt anyone. The bear eventually made its way towards the mountains north of Lupine Way.
