The Upper Allen Police has received numerous reports of a black bear roaming in several neighborhoods in both the area of East Winding Hill Road and in the Canterbury Drive area.

There have been no reports of the bear being hostile or aggressive at this time. Residents are asked to move trash containers and bird feeders inside, so as not to attract the bear. If the bear is seen, do not approach the bear or attempt to confine the bear in any way.

The Upper Allen Township Police are working with the State Game Commission, who will be attempting to trap the bear for relocation. Residents are asked to call Upper Allen Police via 9-1-1 or 717-238-9676 regarding any concerns about public safety.
