Charlotte area Police are now warning residents about a Tega Cay bear spotted by several local residents over the weekend.
Tega Cay Police received three calls on Saturday from the Point Clear Drive and Kailua Circle area. Officers quickly responded, advising residents to keep a safe distance and secure trash and food sources to avoid attracting the bear.
Numerous locals shared videos and pictures on Facebook of the Tega Cay bear, causing both excitement and concern.
