ORANGE, MASS. (WHDH) - People in Orange are hoping a bear won’t be seen in their neighborhood again.

Environmental police say the 300 pound animal was seen in the town several times in recent weeks.

It has been feeding on garbage and bird feeders.

Officials tranquilized the bear Monday and moved it to a rural location.
