The City of Brentwood is investigating a report of a large “cat like” animal spotted Friday morning in Crockett Park near the Tennis Center.

A resident spotted the animal and took a picture from a distance with her cell phone. The quality of the cell phone photo is insufficient to identify the exact type of animal.

The Police Department is investigating and monitored the area over the weekend.

There have been no other reports regarding strange animals in this area, and no reason to believe there is any danger or threat to the public. However, residents are asked to be alert and notify the Police Department immediately should they see anything suspicious.
