LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE - A bear, the second to roam a San Gabriel Valley neighborhood Thursday, is contained to a tree, deputies said.
 
The bear was spotted in a backyard in the 4800 block of Daleridge around Noon. Nearby La Cañada High School, St. Francis High School and Crestview Preparatory School were temporarily locked down, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Crescenta Valley Station.
 
Once the bear took refuge in a tree about one hour ago, the school lockdowns were lifted.
