According to a spokesperson for the police department, the police and Wildlife Service officials eventually directed the animals to a less populated area after they came to their notice.
The Grizzly No. 399 bear, which has been named according to the tag hanging from her ear, has become familiar to the town as it has the tendency to linger near roads in Grand Teton National Park.
The female bear attracts the attention of locals and tourists alike.

An effort to "mitigate further human-bear conflict" and to "#keepbearswild" was announced on Sunday by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, and other local agencies.
US Fish and Wildlife Service has been striving to keep 399 away from humans as much as possible to prevent a violent encounter.
