A massive black bear named Hank the Tank is wanted by California police for breaking into dozens of homes in a Lake Tahoe neighbourhood since last summer.

The bear burglar weighs 500lbs (227kg), much more than the average bear, and appears to have skipped hibernation in winter due to a constant food supply.

Hank earned his nickname by hungrily barging his way into locked and occupied homes.

"It's learned to use its size and strength to force its way into homes," says California Department of Fish and Wildlife spokesman Peter Tira. "It'll barge through garage doors, it'll barge through front doors. It'll go through windows."
