The massive bear notorious for home invasions in South Lake Tahoe, has been captured. 'Hank the Tank' and her 3 cubs will be relocated, officials said.
Hank the Tank is responsible for at least 21 break-ins and extensive property damage in the Tahoe area between February 2022 to May 2023, officials said.
CDFW said her cubs, who have also shown conflict behavior, will potentially be released to a wildlife rehabilitation facility in Petaluma in hopes they can discontinue the negative behaviors they learned from their mother. Eventually they hope to release them back into the wild.
