Home surveillance video has captured incredible video of a mother bear and her two cubs strolling through a cul-de-sac in the 3200 block of Rimhill Road.

According to resident Linda Augur, the bears have been coming through at nights, foraging through trash cans for food.

Los Angeles County animal control officers were called, but did not come out to the neighborhood, Augur said.

There have been no immediate reports of the bears acting in a threatening manner.

There have several bear sightings in the L.A. area this year. On Monday, a bear was found roaming a neighborhood in Arcadia. The bear was safely tranquilized in the driveway of a home.

In July, a bear was caught on video taking a dip in a backyard Jacuzzi in Altadena. In June, a bear took a swim in a backyard pool in Pasadena.
