SAN TAN VALLEY, AZ \u2014 A bear cub spotted wandering through San Tan Valley over the past week has been safely captured and relocated by wildlife officials.<\/p>\n

According to the Pinal County Sheriff\u2019s Office, deputies and the Arizona Game & Fish Department were first called out last week after reports of a small bear roaming the area, but they were unable to locate it at the time.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the cub was seen again near Arizona Farms and Felix Road. <\/p>\n

Deputies found the animal perched near the top of a tall palm tree.<\/p>\n

With help from Arizona Game & Fish, Rural Metro Fire, and Queen Creek Fire & Medical, crews safely brought the cub down.<\/p>\n

Officials say the cub will be transported to northern Arizona, where he\u2019ll be released back into the wild.<\/p>\n
