 🚨Attention Ventura County residents!

There have been a few mountain lion sightings in our area over the last couple of weeks, including one in the city of Camarillo Wednesday morning. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office wants to ensure you know how to stay safe. Here are some important tips:

* DO NOT APPROACH: If you see a mountain lion, especially one feeding or with offspring, keep your distance. Most mountain lions prefer to avoid confrontation.
* Stay Calm and Stand Your Ground: If you encounter a mountain lion, do not run. Instead, face the animal, make noise, and try to appear larger.
* Protect Your Pets: Bring pets indoors during the evening and early morning hours. Avoid leaving pet food or other food outdoors that might attract wildlife.
Remember, these majestic creatures roam our hills, and it’s crucial to coexist peacefully.
📞 Call 911 if you encounter a mountain lion or any wildlife in your neighborhood.
Stay safe and stay informed, Ventura County!

Prayers for the Montvale Police Officer who was seriously injured in the line of duty this morning. 🙏🏽

New Jersey: A police officer from Montvale was seriously injured helping his Woodcliff Lake colleagues capture two accused thieves today, responders said.

Multiple units converged on the Whole Foods shopping center on Chestnut Ridge Road following a noontime theft at the Sephora store on Wednesday (Feb. 19).

A hit on a license plate that was reported stolen out of Westchester led to the getaway car.

At that point, the man and woman were essentially surrounded. They tried to run but were quickly caught and brought to Woodcliff Lake police headquarters to be processed.

A Montvale officer who was among the area responders injured his Achilles tendon and had to be hospitalized. He was doing well, colleagues said.

No other injuries were reported.
