PRINCE GEORGE – For the second time in less than two weeks, the Prince George Conservation Officers Service has set up another bear trap in the same neighbourhood.

They are looking for a second bear that is wandering the area looking for unsecured garbage containers.

Conservation Officer Service is concerned this bear may become aggressive toward people as it is looking for unnatural food sources.

According to the Conservation Officer Service, this bear has learned to look for garbage containers.

This bear is known to focus on those containers left outside unsecured.

In less than a month the CO Service has killed one black bear from the Peden Hill neighbourhood. It was identified as a habituated black bear.

Even if the black bear is caught and killed in the recently set trap, according to the CO Service, the chances of another bear attracted to the same area is high.
