A family of eight was left waiting for an hour for help to arrive after a black bear broke into their Manitoba cottage overnight, leaving them with a broken window.
Kat Devuone and her family were awoken at around 4:30 a.m. on Monday to the sound of glass shattering. After realizing a bear was in the house, Devuone, her sister and her parents took her two children and niece and nephew into a bedroom and barricaded the door. Devuone’s sister then called 911 for help.
“ let us know that there was no one working, that they didn't have anyone so nobody would be coming and that we should hang up immediately and call 911,” Devuone toldManitoba RCMP eventually said they would send officers to the cottage although they weren’t sure how they’d handle the situation, calling it a “conservation issue,” Devuone recalled.
Police showed up an hour after the family’s call when the bear had already gone. The family was found unharmed. A spokesperson for the province said in a statement while their tip line is monitored, conservation officers aren’t on duty 24-7.
