Bear break-ins on the rise in Connecticut as Warren residents raise concerns
Дата публикации: 12-08-2026 22:14:42
Bear break-ins are becoming a growing concern in Connecticut, with wildlife officials reporting more than 50 home entries so far this year, already more than the total recorded during all of last year.
The issue is particularly concerning residents in Warren, where about 10 bear break-ins have been reported this year. The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) met with residents Wednesday night to address concerns and offer advice on keeping bears away from homes.
One Warren homeowner recently found his pantry ransacked after a bear got inside his home about two months ago. Video showed the mess left behind.
“They’re big and they are so quiet,” Warren resident Pat Moore said.
Warren First Selectman Greg LaCava said residents have increasingly contacted his office about bears getting onto their properties.
“Quite a few videos have surfaced over the last month or two, and more people [are] calling my office of bears going into their garage,” LaCava said.
State wildlife officials said Connecticut’s bear population is thriving in the western part of the state, increasing the chances of interactions between bears and people. Bears have been spotted in every town and city in Connecticut, according to wildlife officials.
DEEP officials told Warren residents that bears generally approach homes and other properties because they are looking for food.
“Think like a bear. If a bear is coming over to your house, it’s not because it likes you or it wants to be around people. It’s because there’s food,” DEEP’s Jason Hawley, a wildlife biologist, said.
Officials recommend removing potential food sources that could attract bears.
“Take birdfeeders down. Make sure the garbage is secure,” Hawley said.
DEEP deputy commissioner Mason Trumble said the number of bears entering homes this year has already surpassed the total for all of last year.
“So far this year to date, we’ve had 50 home entries. That’s bears entering people’s homes. That’s more than we had the entire year last year, which is concerning to us,” he said.
Some Warren residents said they are already taking precautions.
“We’re very careful with the garbage can. We don’t feed the birds,” resident Jerry Frisbie said.
