Shoppers at a grocery store in southern Arizona were in for a surprise when a bear wandered through the front entrance and roamed around inside for a short while before leaving.

Over the weekend, the bear was seen in the neighborhood near the Fry’s location and was spotted again Monday behind the store before entering it.

The bear initially nudged against the automatic doors until it found its way inside, explained Darren Wright, a spokesperson for the Oro Valley Police Department.

“It just ran around,” Wright said. “I don’t think it did any damage.”

A video taken by a shopper showed a man looking for the bear inside the store.

After peering down at his phone, the man looked up to find the bear within several feet of him.

The bear ran away from the man.

The animal was seen at some point in the store’s produce section but isn’t believed to have taken anything.

An officer who was nearby arrived at the store and worked to get people out of the building.

Authorities lost track of the bear after it left the store.

“We’ve had multiple bear sightings in Oro Valley,” Wright mentioned. “It’s not unusual for them to emerge from the desert, but this encounter was definitely the most unusual.”
