At the scene, officers located a woman who directed them to a walking path along the river. There, police located five to six coyotes with light white/grey fur travelling in a pack. The animals, weighing approximately 45 to 50 pounds, presented themselves aggressively and didn’t appear to be afraid of humans, police said.
“The London Police want the public to keep a lookout for similar animal activity in this area,” police said, adding that Animal Control has been made aware of the sighting.
No further information has been released.
