Coyote Sighting

 

     On 6-5-07 at approximately 1251am,  Bridgewater Police received a 9-1-1 call of a coyote inside a home.  When Police arrived at the residence, which is in the Finderne section of town, the coyote had already exited the home.  Police discovered that the animal had entered the home via a propped open door attempting to attack the homeowners cat.  There was no attempt to attack a human.  However, with the recent coyote attacks in Middletown, the Bridgewater Police would like everyone to be aware that there are coyotes in the area.  Although coyotes are normally non-threatening to humans, extra precautions should be taken with pets kept outside.
