Fredericton police warn of mother bear, cubs in Gibson Street area
The Fredericton Police Force is warning people to stay away from part of the city due to bear sightings Tuesday morning.
Police are asking the public to avoid 475 Gibson Street due to a mother bear and three cubs in the area. First responders have contained the animals.
Gibson Street runs parallel to Nashwaak Trail.
This sighting comes after a black bear was spotted in a tree in a park in Dartmouth, N.S., last Thursday.
In that case, Nova Scotia’s Department of Natural Resources and Renewables (DNRR) tranquilized the bear and brought it down from the tree with a bucket truck and inflatable safety mattresses.
On Friday, DNRR said it had successfully released the bear back into the wild.
