City leaders in New Bern are telling residents to beware of alligators. The warning stems from growing reports of alligator sightings in rivers, lakes, streams, and back yards.
Officials estimate they received about four calls a week from people in the area spotting alligators in the waterways.
Dave Hilbert said he was walking along a stream in Martin Marietta Park in New Bern when he saw an alligator. Hibert said the alligator was only a few feet away from where he was standing.
