A California couple had to hide in their home after a bear entered through a back door and began rummaging through their pantry, according to local reports.

The bear entered Barbara Rogers' home in Duarte, California, after her husband left their back door open to allow their cats inside, KABC-TV reported.

"My husband goes, 'There's a bear in the house!' Rogers told KABC-TV." I look down the stairs, and I saw his big nose, and it was about a 250-pound - he said a junior bear - so it wasn't very old."

Rogers told NBC Los Angeles that they tried to make noise by using pots and pans to get the bear out, however, that did not work. The couple called law enforcement and locked themselves in their bedroom to stay safe, the report said.

Rogers told KABC-TV that the bear was in their kitchen searching for his next meal while in the house.

"He was looking for food. He went through my whole pantry; he pulled out the flour...he ate all the cat food from the two cat dishes," Rogers told KABC-TV. He ate prunes."

The bear eventually left the couple's home. According to NBC Los Angeles, bear sightings are frequent in the area where the Rogers' home is located as they travel from the Angeles National Forest.
