(AP) -- A black bear with a taste for Italian food wandered through the suburbs of New York City for nearly a week before being captured at a country club golf course on Friday. The young bear had been spotted five times since Sunday. On Tuesday it was seen taking food out of a trash bin outside the Venetian Delight on Central Avenue in Yonkers, just five miles from the Big Apple. State Department of Environmental Conservation biologists Richard Henry and David Cree were holding a news conference on the bear Friday when word arrived that it had been spotted again, this time in White Plains. They took off in hot pursuit. ``It must have seemed like a Keystone comedy to some people,'' Henry said about the bear chase and media frenzy. ``An entourage of reporters followed us.'' They caught up with the bear at the Ridgeway Country Club in White Plains, where they knocked it out with a tranquilizing dart. The bear, estimated to be 1 to 2 1/2 years old, was to be taken upstate to a park in the Catskills on Saturday and released. New York state is home to an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 bears, and officials say they may wander nearly 100 miles in search of a mate or new territory. But Henry said this was the first time in 25 years that he'd heard of a bear being caught in Westchester County, a heavily populated suburban area just north of New York City.
