Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers are investigating a poaching crime near Avondale involving a bear shot on private property sometime either Nov. 1 or Nov. 2.

The female bear was found by a hunter near Olson Rd. and 53rd Lane.

"Two cubs were spotted nearby, but they were around 65 pounds each so we think they have a good chance to make it on their own," District Wildlife Manager Gretchen Holschuh said.

Wildlife officers hope someone may have heard or seen something that may shed light on the incident. Anyone with information about this case, or who may have witnessed suspicious activity, can contact Operation Game Thief at 877-265-6648 or call Holschuh directly at 719-250-9089.

Operation Game Thief is offering a $500 reward in this case.
