Guilford Police Department is looking for Guilford Bears

Well.... who’s up for some grilling???

It’s BBQ season again and the Guilford Bears are ready to eat

Latest sightings today were on Whitebirch Drive

No need to panic... they will move along with loud noises... but not before snacking on your bird food, hummingbird liquid and BBQ trays....

It is getting warmer and they are venturing out to get some tasty snacks.... because let’s face it... that curvy figure doesn’t survive on berries alone

So for the time being, clean out the BBQ, take in the bird food and these giant fuzzy creatures will meander back to the woods
