The Village of Croton-on-Hudson Police Department says it received reports of black bear sightings Tuesday.

The sightings were reported along Warren and Albany Post roads, according to a post by the village.

"If you see a bear, do not approach it. If possible remain indoors, or in a safe location, until it leaves the area. If a bear is damaging property or is reluctant to leave the area, but the situation is not an emergency, call the DEC regional wildlife office during business hours at (845) 256-3098. When a nuisance bear presents an immediate danger to public safety, call 911," says the post.
