The bear — whose DNA authorities say was found at 21 homes over the past year — is one of several residents have referred to as “Hank the Tank.”

During her last few home invasions, her cubs came along for the ride, and together, the bear family has been suspected of even more break-ins and additional property damage, the state agency said Friday.

Now, the four family members are headed their separate ways. After veterinary checks, the mother bear will be sent to a wildlife sanctuary in Colorado, while the cubs will go to a rehabilitation facility in Sonoma County. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has the authority to approve only one placement of this kind, CDFW said.

In Sonoma, the hope is that the three bear cubs will learn to lose their break-in habits and, eventually, be fit to return to the wild.
