Japan city relieved as bear caught after roaming streets for days
A bear that roamed the streets of the Japanese city of Utsunomiya for four days was caught on Tuesday (Jun 9).
The sightings triggered a major search operation and forced the closure of all 94 public primary and middle schools in the city.
Dozens of police officers, hunters and city officials surrounded a private home after reports that the animal had been spotted there.
After two missed attempts, a tranquiliser dart successfully struck the bear, allowing teams to move in and capture it safely.
