Those naughty bears
Snuffy's cousin on wild rampage
In the end he fell asleep.But not before the teenage black bear led heavily armed police, natural resources ministry officers, even York Region's own police chief on a 12-hour catch-me-if-you can romp through downtown Newmarket.
For several hours, armed officers stood guard as natural resources ministry officers searched for the animal in a wooded area of Fairy Lake Park. Overhead, a York police helicopter scanned the dense bush with infrared cameras.
Fortunately, we did not see any bears when we were hanging out at the very same park on Saturday.
