POLICE have been called out to investigate another sighting of the Beast of Bexley.

Officers from Bexleyheath police station went to Upton Road, Bexleyheath, after a teenager reported seeing the giant black cat in undergrowth by Bexleyheath Golf Club.

Tom Shinners, 15, of Farnham Road, Welling, was on his way home from a friend's house at around 10.30pm on July 12 when he saw the cat.

He told News Shopper: "I heard a rustling in the bushes as I was walking past and as I looked through the metal fence, I saw this giant black cat trotting across the grass.

"I only saw it for a few seconds before it disappeared again into the undergrowth."

He added: "I didn't know what to think, so I rang the police."

A spokesman for Bexleyheath police confirmed officers did visit the scene but found nothing.
