According to a news release from the Scarborough Police Department, the city’s marine resource officer first received a report Monday of a sizable shark near Richmond Island and Scarborough Beach. Drone footage captured Monday appears to show a shark measuring between 10 and 12 feet long swimming near the southern tip of Richmond Island, close to Higgins Beach and Scarborough Beach.
