New City, NY – A bear was spotted on Tuesday afternoon in the Simkin Dr. area of New City at 12:30 PM.

Residents are reminded by the Clarkstown Police Department to maintain a safe distance from wildlife. To ensure safety, several guidelines are suggested when encountering a black bear.

Firstly, it is crucial not to feed or approach the bear. Remaining calm and refraining from running is advised; instead, slowly back away.

Additionally, making noise can help alert the bear without startling it. It’s also important to ensure trash is secured and food sources are removed from properties to minimize bear attractions.
