Aug. 12 (UPI) — A Maine police department issued a warning about a large shark, suspected to be a great white, seen swimming Monday and Tuesday near several public beaches.
The Scarborough Police Department said in a news release that the city’s marine resource officer received a report Monday of a large shark seen near Richmond Island and Scarborough Beach.
Further sightings were reported Tuesday near Pine Point Beach.
The department obtained a drone camera video recorded Monday showing what appears to be a 10-12-foot shark off the southern tip of Richmond Island, near Higgins Beach and Scarborough Beach.
The beaches remained open Tuesday, but police urged visitors to be cautious in local waters.
