Black Bear Spotted Near Route 412

A black bear was reportedly spotted near the intersection of Polk Valley Road and Route 412.

A Lower Saucon Township resident reported seeing a black bear on his property near the intersection of Route 412 and Polk Valley Road Monday morning.

The resident said in an email that the bear "wasn't a cub, but it wasn't a monster one either...maybe a juvenile."

"He/she was moving quickly and heading towards the (Hellertown) diner through the yards for the few seconds that I saw him or her," he added.

The man said he tried to snap a photo of the bear, but the by the time he had run outside with his phone it had already disappeared.
