CPW officers shared a photo of the bear on social media and reminded people who live nearby to remove anything outside their home that could attract bears.

Earlier this week, Aurora police alerted residents to a bear in the Tallyn's reach neighborhood.

The bear was seen in the 23500 block of E. Briarwood Dr., which is off South Aurora Parkway, between Smoky Hill Road and East Arapahoe Road.
