Police Issue Bear Warning for West Side Residents

City Police are warning residents on the West side to watch out for bears. Sgt. Joe Ferrar tells CHSJ news there have been several sightings of a momma bear and her three large cubs over the past couple of weeks--particularly in the Montecristo Park and Gault Road areas. There have also been sightings along Ocean Westway. Ferrar says the bears are hungry and one family got a surprise last night while cooking when they saw a bear with its nose pressed up against their kitchen window.

Police are asking residents to keep all garbage and compost bins inside their homes or garages until the bears are caught using live-traps set up by the Department of Natural Resources.
