It's a bear developing a monthly habit. Two months ago it was in Hightstown, Mercer County, and last month near Forsgate Country Club in Monroe Township.
Today, the same bear was tranquilized and captured on Tompkins Road in East Brunswick, the sixth time in less than 18 months wildlife officials have been called out for the animal.
"Part of the situation with him is there's no females around here. If there was a female down here, maybe he would settle down," said Kim Tinnes of the state Division of Fish and Wildlife.
