At 10:37 am on October 10, Powell River RCMP responded to a shots fired complaint in the 6400 block of Hillcrest Avenue in Wildwood.
Upon arrival, police conducted a neighbourhood canvas and determined that a resident nearby had been confronted by a bear on her property. The female had used a bear banger to scare the bear off.
There was no bylaw regulation to enforce and the bear had been scared off.
Police would like to remind the public to take precautions to deter bears from their property, such as securing garbage and limiting food sources.
