Overview
- Glades Homemade Candies reported a fourth break-in since Christmas, posting photos of shattered glass, overturned trays, and spilled dough.
- The shop says it secured doors, used bear-proof dumpsters, implemented extra security, and even boarded the entrance after earlier damage.
- TWRA placed electric unwelcome mats for three days as part of its loan program, but the bear returned after the equipment was removed.
- No injuries were reported in the latest incident, and the animal left before authorities arrived.
- The store urged a safe capture and release, while TWRA notes winter food scarcity can draw black bears to human-related food sources.
