CHATSWORTH, Calif.—A bear spotted in a tree July 2 after roaming around an industrial neighborhood in Chatsworth was captured by wildlife personnel.

The female bear, believed to be 3 to 5 years old, is the same animal who was spotted and captured in Claremont in May and collared before being released in the Angeles National Forest.

Afterward, the animal made her way to Malibu and had not been seen until being spotted in Chatsworth on Monday night.

On Tuesday morning, law enforcement authorities and personnel from the Department of Fish and Wildlife monitored the bear, who was eventually caught late Tuesday morning.
