Seal’s First Visit to the Neighborhood
The Police got a call from a Public Works employee in a plow truck around 1 am saying that he thought he saw a seal on the street of a local neighborhood. Officers were able to transport the seal back to the ocean at Fort Williams Park, and let him go.
Seal’s Second Visit to the Neighborhood
A few hours later at 7 am, another call came in that the same seal had returned to the neighborhood and was working its way down Shore Road. A local neighbor helped the Cape Elizabeth Police Officer load the seal, and he was taken back to the ocean once again.
Seal’s Third Visit to the Neighborhood
Just over an hour later, the seal was back again in Fort Williams Park. He was taken back to the beach for a third time with the help of locals who had gathered around and an officer. The seal swam off after the final time and has so far not returned to the neighborhood.
