Two bears have escaped from the zoo in the town of Blagoevgrad, in southwestern Bulgaria, in the early hours of Sunday.

The two bears, named Yavor and Kalina, broke a wooden fence and a metal door on their way to freedom.

Some 13 policemen and zoo workers went looking for the two fugitives, who were apprehended later in the day.

The two bears, both aged 3, were moved to the Blagoevgrad zoo from Stara Zagora a year and a half ago.
