SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — DNA evidence now shows that a 500-pound black bear that the public had nicknamed “Hank the Tank” — blamed for breaking into dozens of homes across the Tahoe Keys area — may be innocent.
The agency will soon begin trapping bears in the South Lake Tahoe area to tag the animals and collect evidence for genetic analysis. The bears will be released in a “suitable habitat” and the agency said no trapped animals will be euthanized as part of the project. One of the bears smashed a window Friday and squeezed into a house on Catalina Drive while the residents were at home,. Police responded and banged on the outside of the house until the animal exited out the back door and disappeared into the woods.
