El Dorado county deputies stopped a sweet tooth heist Sunday after a bear broke into the ice cream shop at Camp Richardson, and their information officer seemed to have had a lot of fun in reporting it:

In the early morning hours of last Sunday, August 17th, Deputies were dispatched to a call for service at the Ice Cream Shop at Camp Richardson in South Lake Tahoe.

The deputies could barely believe their eyes as they saw a large bear behind the counter of the shop.

With some encouragement, the bear ultimately left, but only after showing interest in the strawberry ice cream.

Thankfully, Fuzzy the bear caused barely any property damage and there was barely any cleanup.
