Notorious biscuit-loving bear returns to town it was banished from - again

An infamous brown bear who was spotted stealing biscuits from an Italian mountain village bakery has shown his face again, but this time he is searching for panettone.

Locals in Abruzzo, central Italy, have called him Juan Carrito and reports say he has already been tranquillised twice and flown to remote mountain areas to keep him away from humans.

Juan is a rare Mariscan species with only 50-60 left in the wild, they are genetically different to the brown bears which live in the Alps and many other parts of Europe.
