A large bear paid another visit to Lompoc, after it was captured and released in May.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife said they received reports of a bear roaming on North H St. around 2 a.m. Sunday.
Video circulating on social media shows the bear digging through the trash can outside of Vons.
A wildlife officer responded and followed the bear into the riverbed east of town where it disappeared into a wooded area, according to CA Fish and Wildlife.
Officials said this bear is thesame bear that was captured, tagged and released south of Lompoc on May 12th.

The bear had been seen near Gaviota a few weeks ago and appears it traveled back to Lompoc, wildlife officials said.
There were no reports of damage or aggressive or threatening behavior from the bear.
