Town officials are issuing a warning after a black bear was caught on a home surveillance camera Wednesday night in Walpole, Massachusetts.
Bears that have become accustomed to and dependent on humans to find food, including bird seed, trash and pet food, police said, are likely to cause damage. They have excellent long-term memory and can remember where they found food years later. Police said removing any food sources like birdfeeders can prevent problems in the area.
Jackson, New Hampshire, police are reminding residents to roll up their windows and lock their doors if they have food inside their car. They also asked residents to put out their trash barrels on the morning of trash day, rather than the evening prior, to prevent bears from rummaging through them and making a mess. All garbage should be stored in closed containers inside a garage or similar structure, police said.
Walpole police are asking anyone who sees a bear to contact them at 508-668-1212 or to call the Massachusetts Environmental Police at 800-632-8075.
