Drone video footage showed what may be a great white shark, estimated at 10 to 12 feet long, the police department said.

The Scarborough Police Dept. circulated drone footage of the shark “for public situational awareness” after the big fish was spotted.

Officials in Scarborough informed the public of a "potential shark sighting in local waters, specifically in the area off the south tip of Richmond Island, Crescent Beach State Park, Higgins Beach and Pine Point Beach" located along the Maine coast. All beaches are within a half-hour's drive of Portland.
