Who knew Six Flags was this popular?
Yesterday morning, the Gurnee Police Department issued an alert about a bear sighting – yes, you read that right – in the town.
“This morning around 8:45 AM, the Gurnee Police Department was made aware of a possible bear sighting in the area of Hunt Club Road and Route 132. Our officers immediately checked the area, but the bear was nowhere to be found.
“If you see a bear in Gurnee, please do not approach the animal. Contact our dispatch center at 847-599-7000 ext 0, and will work with our local wildlife authorities to respond to the area.”
While no official sighting has been confirmed, a commenter posted the video below.
The video has not been confirmed by authorities.
According to a report from CBS Chicago, a parent dropping off her child at a nearby daycare center spotted the bear running across the parking lot at approximately 9am. The area is also close to Gurnee Mills shopping center.
Anyone with information on the bear’s whereabouts is asked to call 847-599-7000 ext. 0.
