The mother bear and her three cubs had clearly made their way into the building in the hope of finding something tasty to snack on - but they were rumbled before they had the chance to sit down to dinner.

Although the parent ran away fairly quickly as soon as the owner came back, the youngsters were a little cheekier.

The footage shows one of the baby bears sat atop what appears to be a freezer, searching for food.

The homeowners ended up having to call the sheriff's deputies to help get rid of the wild beasts which eventually fled the property back into the wild.
