May 29 (UPI) -- A young black bear visited two Massachusetts schools as it wandered through Worcester with police in pursuit.
The bruin was spotted climbing over garden walls Thursday on Highland Street, prompting a lockdown at the nearby Doherty Memorial High School.
Students were kept inside until the bear left the area.
The animal was later spotted about two miles away, on the campus of Clark University.
Police said the bear eventually returned to the woods on its own, and environmental police are keeping tabs on it.
