A bear was spotted strolling through a Saanich neighbourhood on Thursday morning.

Just before noon on May 21, the Saanich Police Department took to social media to warn residents that a bear sighting had been reported in the 5100-block of Interurban Road earlier in the day.

In a Twitter post, police said the bear was “not aggressive [and] was not eating garbage” but that B.C. Conservation officers had been alerted.
