Watch: Large bear roams around Sunland neighborhood

NBC Los Angeles reports that a large bear was spotted walking through the Sunland neighborhood on Saturday, May 2, 2026, moving between Wheatland Avenue and Dale Avenue before authorities believe it moved away from residential areas; officers remained on patrol as a precaution. The article is sourced from the Los Angeles Police Department and includes a broadcast news segment, though no named reporter or additional on-ground detail is provided beyond the official police account. Independent search results confirm NBC Los Angeles as the primary source for this incident; related bear sightings in nearby areas (Shadow Hills, Gleneagle) appear to be separate occurrences. Readers should monitor local LAPD updates for confirmation of whether the bear was tracked, relocated, or remains in the broader region, as bear activity in residential LA neighborhoods often escalates during spring months.
