Greenwich Cougar “Credible”

According to local media reports of June 1, 2006, a “cougar” is being seen near Greenwich, New Jersey. The police are taking the sightings seriously because they’ve seen them too.

Since May 11, nine people have said they’ve seen a large cat roaming in several areas of the township, including near a day-care center, a youth-sports complex, and the DuPont Repauno Plant. A police officer has been assigned to patrol the area on a bicycle.

Two police officers saw the cougar in broad daylight. One saw it chasing a herd of deer, [Detective Sgt. Joseph ] Giordano said. “Every one of the witnesses have been credible. They have no reason to make it up,” he said.

One recent encounter was mentioned for May 20th. Read more about these in the Courier Post article, “Cougar sightings in South Jersey called ‘credible'”.

If you think you’ve seen the cougar, call the Greenwich Police Department at (856) 423-1900.
