A black bear was reportedly spotted wandering through a 性视界传媒 neighbourhood Friday evening.

Joe Wu was driving near 156 Street and 104 Avenue, at 5:52 p.m., when he saw the animal.

鈥淰ery surprised,鈥� Wu told Peace Arch News Saturday. 鈥淗e was running across 156 Street and 104 Avenue. Almost hit it. And then I just drive there to make sure I spot a bear, not a dog.鈥�

Wu said he took photographs of the bear from inside his car.

He said the animal was not threatening, and appeared to be searching for food.

A Ministry of Environment and Climate Change public affairs officer told PAN Saturday that he would look into the reported sighting.

鈥淧eople sometimes just post them on Facebook and that鈥檚 all the news there is to it. Unless this thing got into trouble and caused a conflict of some sort鈥︹�� the spokesperson said. 鈥淟et me find out if there鈥檚 anything to it.鈥�
