The Yonkers Police Department has received reports of a black bear sighting in the Lawrence Park neighborhood of the City (area of Essex Place at Rockledge Road).
Residents who observe black bears near their homes are asked to report the sighting to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Wildlife Line at (845) 256-3098.
If the black bear appears aggressive or exhibits threatening behavior, call 9-1-1.
Food sources attract bears - the leading cause of bear complaints in New York is bears getting into residential garbage and birdfeeders. Please remove all unnatural external food sources to reduce potential contact.
