May 29 (UPI) -- A bear was caught on camera breaking into a California home and leaving with only one stolen item: a package of Oreo cookies.

A video recorded in the Canyon Crest Drive area in Monrovia shows the bear entering the home through a window and exiting with the package of Oreos dangling from its mouth.

Neighbor Vina Khoury said the same sweet-toothed bear, now known to residents as Oreo, previously visited her garage to steal chocolate cake from her refrigerator.

"I feel like I can't leave a window open even with a screen because he literally took the screen out, so that's a little alarming for me," Khoury told KABC-TV.

India's lawyers, activists protest against new criminal laws
Indian lawyers and activists are urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government to put on hold three sets of new criminal laws, arguing they will increase litigation in an already overburdened justice system and give excessive powers to police. India this month replaced its criminal justice system - the Indian Penal Code of 1860, the 1973 Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act of 1872 - with new laws. The new laws, in force since July 1, expand police powers on pre-trial detention of an accused and introduce the death penalty for gang-rape of women aged under 18, among other provisions.
