Some Tampa residents caught an unusual sight on Saturday, when a bear was spotted running through a neighborhood.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said a black bear ran through an apartment complex before deputies responded to the scene on Saturday morning.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission later confirmed that same bear was spotted up a nearby tree, as trappers worked to re-locate it.
While feeding bears is usually discouraged, trappers set up treats and pastries in a cage to lure it down, according to WFLA, an affiliate of NBC6.

In a 10 p.m. update, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said the bear did leave the tree for a while in the afternoon, but later returned to a different tree.
Two traps are now reportedly set up in hopes of the bear coming down late Saturday night or early Sunday morning.
Anyone who spots a bear in their area is urged to reach out to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
