If you see the black bear, do not approach him or her, the Middletown Animal Control officer says.
Post from Middletown Animal Control:
This bear is wandering around the Westfield section of Middletown today [Tuesday, Oct. 21]. He got scared and climbed a tree at the State Police Headquarters. If you see the bear, PLEASE do not approach it; LEAVE IT ALONE. Please secure your garbage, grills, bird feeders and any other potential food sources to avoid attracting him. Feel free to take a picture from safely INSIDE your home. THANK YOU!!!
