Bear caught not the one sought

INCLINE VILLAGE -- A black bear with a sweet tooth was captured Thursday outside a Lake Tahoe bakery.

The 3-year-old male bruin was caught after a trap was baited with strudel, said Ernie Feld of Ernie's Bakery.

Nevada Department of Wildlife Biologist Carl Lackey said Feld was trying to capture a bear that had earlier entered the bakery and broken into a restaurant next door.

But Lackey said the bear captured Thursday was not responsible for the other incidents, and it will be released back into the wild today at Lake Tahoe.

Lackey said a search continues for two bears that have broken into a string of Incline Village homes and caused considerable damage this year.
