With a pair of bears on the loose, police were called and a firearms unit dispatched to the wildlife park in southwest England.

With a pair of bears on the loose, police were called and a firearms unit dispatched to the wildlife park in southwest England.

But the panic was quickly quelled when Mish and Lucy were found fast asleep in the honey store Monday, having eaten a week's worth of stocks of the sweet treat at Wildwood Devon.

The siblings managed to get out through a back door which had been left open while staff were working with vehicles inside, Mark Habben, the park’s director of zoological operations, told NBC News in a phone interview Wednesday.

“They weren’t in the public space but they were out of their enclosure in the staff areas, just wandering around,” he said.

With their newfound freedom, and sense of smell 2,000 times higher than humans, they made their way to the kitchen.
