Waterford _ Police responded to the area of Route 85 Sunday night after receiving two separate reports of a black bear sighting.

The bear reportedly came out of the woods and then immediately returned to them.

Although the bear’s visit was “uneventful,” police are encouraging residents to be aware of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s “Do’s and Don’ts” for bears.
