Animal control workers, assisted by police and fire officials, were able to contain a large bear wandering around a neighborhood in Sylmar on Monday night.

The bear was first spotted around 8 p.m. in the 13000 block of Eldridge Avenue near the campus of Mission College, Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department said.

No evacuations were ordered. Students were asked to shelter in place, according to Humphrey.

The bear eventually wandered onto the nearby campus of Hubbard Street Elementary School, where California Department of Fish and Wildlife officers began tracking him, aerial video from Sky5 showed.

The 2-year-old animal was finally cornered in a residential neighborhood in the 13000 block of Fenton Avenue and was subdued with a tranquilizer dart, the video showed.

The 125-pound bear was then loaded into the bed of a pickup truck, where he was tagged and given a quick medical check up, according to Fish and Wildlife officials.

The bear, described as healthy with a thick coat, was then driven back into the wilderness.
