There’s a bear out there!

POLAND

Somebody’s been knocking over bird feeders in the village, and it isn’t Goldilocks.

A bear was seen by residents of Audubon Road and Windemere Drive, and village police received about 20 calls from them Tuesday morning.

“We haven’t seen it yet, but we’ve seen damage and evidence” of its existence, said Chief Russell Beatty Jr.

A handful of residents on Sena Lane and North Lima Road in Springfield Township reported seeing the burly roamer late Monday night, said Chief Matthew Mohn, Springfield Township’s police chief.

Someone reported seeing a bear Tuesday afternoon on Paulin Drive near Tamarisk Trail in Boardman, but police didn’t find anything.

Beatty said residents reported the bear stands about 5 feet — tall enough to snatch seed from people’s bird feeders.
