Don't want bears smashing your car windows? Don't leave cookies in your back seat.
That's the advice from Coquitlam RCMP after answering a call at 1 a.m. Tuesday morning from Larch Way in Port Coquitlam.
The homeowners called police after a bear broke through the rear window of their vehicle and the rear windshield wiper to get at some cookies.
Police later spotted the bear in the neighborhood and bear scat on the homeowner's lawn.
"The bear smelt food in the car and broke the window to get entry," Const. Jamie Phillipson said.
