Two lucky and hungry bears in Alaska happened upon a stocked Krispy Kreme van and took full advantage of the find.
On Sept. 12, a mother bear and her cub raided a Krispy Kreme van after finding the vehicle with its doors open at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, a military facility in Anchorage, according to theAssociated Press.
The outlet reported that animals discovered the donut-packed vehicle while the van’s driver, who was on their delivery route, was inside a convenience store. The Krispy Kreme van was parked outside with its doors open while the driver quickly stopped.
PEOPLE has contacted Krispy Kreme for comment on the bear break-in.

According toUSA Today, Candice Sargeant, the general manager of the Krispy Kreme store that was making the deliveries, revealed that the driver of the ransacked van discovered the bears in the van after returning from the store and went to work trying to remove the animals safely.
“You could hear them breaking open the packages,” store manager Shelly Deano toldAlaska News Source. “We were trying to beat on the van, but they just kept eating all the doughnuts. They ate 20 packages of the doughnut holes and, I believe, six packages of the three-pack chocolate doughnuts.”
The bears left the van when base security used sirens to scare them away. After leaving the van and wandering in front of the convenience store, the bears returned to the woods, according to AP.
