A woman believes she has spotted a big cat on the loose in Eastbourne.

Sandy Bawa captured these images on CCTV outside her seafront home in the early hours of Sunday morning (September 27).

The images appear to show a slender, feline-like creature sneaking past a low wall.

She said, “It’s not a dog or something. I just installed the CCTV and I have got foxes almost every day and it isn’t that.

“This is nothing like the other animals I have seen.

“It’s some sort of wild cat I think. It’s bigger than a Great Dane dog and the face is like a cat.”

Sandy says she has been checking her CCTV every day since in case the strange animal reappears in front of her house in Royal Parade.

But she is not frightened of it, but said she felt sorry for it as it looked like it needed something to eat.
