A black bear that found its way to the roof of a mall in Scranton, Pennsylvania, has been removed. The 400-pound male bear apparently climbed onto the roof of the Viewmont Mall after it searched for food in a trash bin early Friday. Scranton police responded to a report of a bear going through the trash around 2:15 a.m. When police put a spotlight on the animal, it climbed up a fence, got on the roof and began roaming around. Pennsylvania Game Commission officers were called. They climbed onto the roof and tranquilized the bear, then lowered it to the ground with a forklift. Officers plan to release the bear onto state game lands.
