The incident happened around 2 a.m. Saturday, according to the Claremont Police Department. Officers were called to the home on Via Montevideo after a teenager in the house discovered the bear in the kitchen.
At least three people were inside the home at the time.
Police believe the bear broke in through a window or door screen. The bear left when officers arrived.
Shortly after, the bear was seen hanging out in the backyard. Video from the scene shows it sitting on a wall and staring into the camera.
