‘Incessant honking’ leads cops to two bears locked inside car, Alaska video shows

Two “furry troublemakers” were found locked inside a car, Alaska authorities said.

“Incessant honking” led cops to a bear duo that managed to lock themselves inside a car, according to a Sept. 18 Facebook post by Ketchikan officers.

Officers said if the two hadn’t been honking, they “could have been stuck in there all night,” police said.

The video shows the bears in the front seat of the car with the video captioned, “Don’t be suspicious. Don’t be suspicious.”

The bears were not harmed and were released after police were able to unlock the car, officers said.

Police urged the public to remember to lock their car doors and to not leave food inside their vehicles.
