B.C. conservation officers say they have called off their search for a bear responsible for an attack on a group of school children in Bella Coola, B.C. on Nov. 20.

The news comes after forensic analysis determined four grizzlies captured this week, an adult female and three young, were linked to the attack, which left three children and one teacher badly injured while out on a school field trip.

In total, eight bears were captured and tested as officers searched for the one responsible. All of them are being relocated away from the community.

But, the service says in a social media update, with no new bear sightings and with grizzlies moving into denning season, they are "no longer actively trying to capture bears, and equipment has been removed."
