CRESTLINE, Calif., July 24 (Inland Empire News Online) — A black bear pushed open the front door of the Crestline Village Water District office in the San Bernardino Mountains on Wednesday afternoon, lingered briefly in the lobby and left without injuring anyone or damaging the building, according to surveillance video from the district and staff accounts.
District staff said the bear entered at about 12:15 p.m. and spent about two minutes in the lobby before moving into the main office area for only a few seconds.
Employees said no customers were in the office at the time and that no one was in danger. The bear then left the building and headed back toward the forest.
Office staff said the bear did not cause property damage, though they saw nose prints on the doors and around the office. The district said the bear appeared to be calmly moving through the building before leaving.
