A hungry black bear is keeping residents in the Kennebecasis Valley on edge.
It was spotted eating out of a compost bin at a home on Dykeman Cresent last night and the Department of Natural Resources says they are aware of the problem and have set two traps in the area.
Spokes-person Matt Jones tells CHSJ News, it's hoped the animal will make his way into deeper woods soon for his winter slumber.
Jones adds the old adage holds true.....don't poke the bear by trying to get close and take a picture of it that it won't attack unless provoked.
Rothesay Regional Police say the animal has been seen lumbering through neighbourhoods on the Model Farm and Elliot Roads.
If you do see it, officers ask that you give them a call at 847-6300.
