Authorities are warning the public to use caution because police say there "are a number" of bobcats "about" in the area.

Hampton Falls Police Lt. Tom Boynton said an Elton Lane homeowner recently reported a bobcat was "acting somewhat aggressive" toward a large dog that was inside a home in that area.

Boynton said it "took some effort" by the homeowner to get the bobcat to leave the area. He recommended locals take caution.

"So if you have small pets, etc. be aware and keep a good eye on them," said Boynton in an e-mail Friday afternoon.
