Police officers with the South Whitehall Township Police Department responded on Tuesday to a report of a “four-legged trespasser” who was seen hanging out near the Lehigh County soccer fields. It turns out that “trespasser” was a black bear, who apparently loves soccer! Thanks to a co ordinated effort with wildlife officials, the black bear was safely and humanely captured, officials said in a Facebook post.
