Burnaby Mounties spent Friday morning playing Goldilocks with three bears that were roaming around the Cariboo Heights neighbourhood, near the border of New Westminster.

According to a media release, officers were trying to herd the adult bears back towards the park and away from public areas. The bears were spotted in the 7500-block of Craig Street going through garbage bins that had been left out for pick up.

Burnaby RCMP is reminding residents to keep all garbage in sealed containers and ensure that all food is stored properly so as not to "create opportunities for foraging that (bears) find hard to resist."
