This reel surfaced yesterday and it seems like the black bear was spotted just outside the Dunkin location near the police station. The closest Dunkin location to the Robbinsville Township Municipal Building would be the location located at 24 Robbinsville Allentown Road. If you're in that area, make sure to be on the lookout for a bear wandering around.

The bear seemed to be just a cub wandering alone, but if you make contact, make sure to give the cub some space and not provoke it.

Also just be cautious of your trash cans and bird feeders around your yard because these things are known to attract bears. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection instructs that you should not run away from bears or make direct eye contact.

Running may trigger a chase response and making eye contact may trigger bears to perceive this as a ‘“challenge”. If you see or hear anything about any bear sightings, make sure to call 911 immediately and police will respond with animal control.
