WINSTED, Conn. (AP) — Two black bears are being blamed for causing a bit of a ruckus in Connecticut.
Black bear and cub destroy car after getting trapped inside
State officials say an adult bear and a cub got trapped inside a car in Winsted on July 15 and destroyed the vehicle's interior.
State environmental conservation police were called by the startled vehicle owner.
They opened a door, and the two bears ran off into the woods safe and sound with a third bear who was outside the car.

The car's owner took photos and videos of the bears on a cellphone.
State officials say it's another sign of the increasing black bear population in Connecticut.
