The Upper Moreland Police Department announced that yesterday’s bear sighting has been resolved.

“A cooperative effort between the Pennsylvania Game Commission and Upper Moreland Police and Fire Departments, led to the safe capture of the bear last evening. The bear was found to be healthy and unharmed and will be relocated,” Upper Moreland Township officials said.

The Hatboro Police Department assisted in the capture. Game Commission officials captured the bear around 11:00pm, according to Hatboro officials.
