A black bear tried to get into an Oldsmar woman’s trash can Thursday night.
Saturday morning, while wildlife officers were attempting to find it, a bear lumbered through an apartment complex on Tampa Shores Boulevard - more than seven miles away.
It could be the same bear, said Forest Rothchild, spokesperson for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Adult bears can travel up to 15 miles a day.
“Something similar happened last year, about this same time, around the same place,” Rothschild said. In June 2021, officials closed Philippe Park in Safety Harbor after a bear was spotted there.
