Residents in a remote Siberian region have been warned to beware of a brown bear currently roaming around armed with two guns.
The bear is believed to have collected his arsenal after breaking into a forest cabin in the Irkutsk region, local media reported.
The 57-year-old hunter was hunting miles away and decided to stay in a remote cabin. He had gone to the river to get water leaving behind his belongings, when the bear broke in.
On his return the old man heard some unusual sounds and spotted the wild animal rampaging inside the cabin, due to fear the hunter hid in the forest for several hours. Upon his return he noticed his two guns were missing along with his bag.
