Bear sighted in Hamilton Township condominium complex

  • News

Hamilton Township police are warning residents that a bear was sighted Monday morning near a condominium complex.
Dean Loveland Jr. was heading to work at about 6:30 a.m., when he spotted the bear on Lombard Street, he told BreakingAC.
"That's a big bear," the Egg Harbor City resident thought.
Loveland, a union carpenter, had seen bears before. But never in New Jersey.
"I was more concerned about the bear heading into the Timber Glenn development," he said.
He captured a photo of the bear walking down Lombard Street not far from Wrangleboro Road across from Consumer Square.
A woman inside the complex encountered the bear while walking her dog.
Maria Rios shared video taken after her daughter made it safely inside.

The bear is seen climbing over the fence leading out of Evergreen at Timber Glenn.
Hamilton Township police sent out a Nixle alert, which included a link to the NJ Fish and Wildlife website for information on bears.
"As a reminder, please DO NOT approach or feed the bear," police wrote.
Anyone who may see the bear is asked to call police.
