Hungry bear busts into chocolate shop — and digs into 50-pound bag of sugar, video shows
Security camera footage captured a black bear with an apparent sweet tooth breaking into a Michigan chocolate shop.
On April 16, around 10:30 p.m., the bear broke into Grocer’s Daughter Chocolate in Empire and took only a 50-pound bag of sugar from the shop, Ring camera footage shows.
“The door was locked when the bear yanked it open, unbelievably,” co-owner Jody Hayden told McClatchy News.
Defying cliches, the bear passed up the five gallons of honey in the shop that evening, Hayden told the Glen Arbor Sun.
“Thankfully he did nothing but enjoy the sugar!” Hayden said.
The bear can be seen in the security footage lying down just outside the shop calmly enjoying its sweet treat.
According to the Glen Arbor Sun, the bear had visited the shop for five consecutive nights, so for the safety of the bear and the community, it will be relocated to a rural location 60 miles outside of Empire.
“He’s safe and we’re fully bear-proofed now,” Hayden said.
The bear returned the next night to find the door bolted shut, the Glen Arbor Sun reported.
Empire is about a 155-mile drive northwest from Grand Rapids.
