Three bears cause a ruckus in Pasadena, Calif., and take a summer dip in backyard pools

Early Thursday afternoon, they romped through suburban Pasadena, Calif., hopping over walls and plunging through a dumpster. They took a brief soak in at least two backyard pools, smashed a glass sliding door and fled what appears to be a protective beagle.

No, this is not another Pokémon Go story — these wandering scamps were bears.

TV helicopters shadowed their antics from above. For a brief moment, the three bears were media darlings the likes of which had not been seen since a llama pair sprung loose on an Arizona highway.
