WILMINGTON - Several residents have had close encounters with black bears in recent weeks, including a bear entering a home. In light of heightened bear activity, the Wilmington Police Department is asking downtown businesses and residents to keep exterior lights on at night. Officials are also urging residents to secure all potential food sources, including garbage, bird seed, and animal feed.
