WALKER, Mich. (WOOD) — A bear police have dubbed “Yogi the West Side Wanderer” keeps popping up in Walker and northwest Grand Rapids.
On Wednesday, the bear walked right up to a business window on 3 Mile Road west of Alpine Avenue. Joe Delfgauw captured video of it and told News 8 it ran away in to the woods when it saw people through the glass.
Walker police say the bear was also seen Tuesday morning near Bristol Avenue and 3 Mile Road NW, heading north. A photo snapped by an officer shows the bear near a home before a barking dog scared it back into the woods.
The bear has been spotted several times in Walker and northwest Grand Rapids within the past weeks, mostly raiding bird feeders for meals. Police say because the bear hasn’t approached humans and hasn’t been a true nuisance, residents should use common sense and keep their distance.
“With sightings becoming more infrequent, it appears he is getting sick of city life & is slowly but surely moving out of the area,” Walker police stated on Facebook.
