Bear storms luxury hotel, attacks security guard

Bear storms luxury hotel, attacks security guard

A shocking incident unfolded at the renowned St. Regis Aspen Resort in Aspen, Colorado, on the night of October 23 when a bear ventured into the luxury hotel’s premises and attacked a security guard. This unexpected encounter, captured on security footage, left the security guard injured and the bear ultimately euthanized. The on-duty security guard was alerted to reports of a bear inside the hotel and bravely decided to investigate the situation.

According to a statement released by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), upon entering the hotel’s kitchen, the security guard came face to face with the intruding bear. The security camera footage shows the bear casually roaming around the kitchen, followed by the guard who cautiously approaches. However, the situation quickly escalated when the bear swiped at the guard, knocking him to the ground, and then made a hasty retreat. In the immediate aftermath of the attack, the security guard managed to call 911, and he was promptly transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of the scratches he sustained on his back. Fortunately, his injuries were not life-threatening, and he was released from the hospital after receiving medical care. Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers were alerted to the situation at 11 p.m. on the night of the attack, and they launched a search operation for the bear. It took until the early hours of Wednesday, October 25 for wildlife officers to successfully locate and apprehend the bear. According to CPW, the officers found the bear near Conner Park and employed non-lethal tactics to haze the animal into a tree within the park. Following this, a tranquilizer gun was used to immobilize the bear, and it was safely removed from the tree using an Aspen Fire ladder truck. Regrettably, per CPW policy, the bear was humanely euthanized, marking a somber end to this extraordinary series of events. Investigation into the incident revealed that the bear had gained access to the hotel through a series of doors near the hotel’s courtyard. In the midst of the search for the bear involved in the attack, CPW officers observed the presence of eight other bears moving about downtown Aspen. See below;

Man lodges in 5-Star hotel for 2 years, racks up bill of ₦57 Million, vanishes without paying

Man lodges in 5-Star hotel for 2 years with bill of ₦57 Million, vanishes without paying

Ankush Dutta, an individual who stayed at a five-star hotel in Delhi for nearly two years without paying his bill, has been accused of fraud by the hotel management. The Roseate House hotel near the international airport filed a complaint against Dutta and some of its staff members for allegedly colluding with him to evade payment. Dutta initially checked into the hotel on 30 May 2019 with a scheduled check-out the following day. However, he extended his stay for a staggering 603 nights, finally leaving on 22 January 2021. During his stay, he accumulated unpaid bills amounting to over N57 million. The hotel management alleged that Dutta conspired with the staff to hide his mounting bills by manipulating accounts and deleting entries. Hotel rules dictated that if a guest owed more than N300,000, the staff should inform senior management to pursue payment. However, it is believed that this rule was violated by the staff involved. Additionally, the hotel claimed that Dutta provided fake receipts and three cheques that were unable to be cashed. The police complaint stated that Dutta and the hotel staff resorted to various methods to avoid paying the bills, including deleting entries, forging reports, providing counterfeit cheques and documents, and exploiting the hotel’s electronic system. The police complaint read: “The guest and the staffers resorted to several ways to avoid paying bills. They owe more than Rs 58 lakh to the hotel. They deleted entries, forged reports, gave forged cheques and documents, and cheated the hotel by misusing its electronic system.” As a result, a case was registered against Dutta and several hotel employees, including the head of the hotel’s front office department, Prem Prakash, on charges of conspiracy, forgery, and cheating. The police suspect that Prakash forged the records and deliberately omitted Dutta’s name from daily reports that detailed his hotel bills. “We believe Prakash forged the records. He even removed Dutta’s names from daily reports where his hotel bills were stated.” He said. Efforts are currently underway to locate Dutta, who is believed to have defrauded multiple other hotels in India. The Roseate House hotel, known for its luxury accommodations, offers rooms starting from N80,000 per night.
