According to the post, the bears appeared to be rummaging through garbage after they broke a window in the camper shell on the truck.

An officer, CSO Schneider, responded to a call about the bears and found them in the truck when he arrived. According to the police, Schneider was able to scare the bears with his air horn, which prompted the mom and cub to go back into the woods.
