    Authorities are advising residents of one Ventura County neighborhood to be on the lookout for a bear that was spotted ambling through a driveway at the end of a cul-de-sac.

    The Santa Paula Police Department was first notified of the bear sighting early Thursday morning, a Facebook post from the department indicated.

    Where it was first spotted was not immediately released.

    Almost 24 hours later at 5 a.m. Friday, the bear was seen again, this time maneuvering between parked cars and a garage on Leavens Court, located off Richard Road in Santa Paula.

    Video posted by the department shows the bear – which several commenters speculated to be a cub – frolicking across the driveway of a home.

    According to police, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was dispatched to confirm the bear’s location, but they could not find it.
