Magazine feature on Bluewater 'big cat'.

Chance to capture big cat on camera
I have always enjoyed going to Bluewater because it offers a great variety of shops. It also really comes into its own when the weather is bad as shoppers are protected from the elements. Now the shopping centre is offering something I would not expect to find there, which is even more thrilling than finding a bargain or bagging the latest fashion. This is the chance to see a big cat on the prowl. I understand this legendary animal has been named the Beast of Bexley. However, if it is now looking for food around the shopping centre, maybe it should now be called the Beast of Bluewater. You would think with all the technology we have these days, a big cat living in the south east would have been clearly caught on camera by now, and possibly even captured. Yet all we seem to get are glimpses of an animal seen from a distance, but you cannot blame the person taking the photograph for not wanting to get too close. If the beast is prowling around Bluewater, which is full of security cameras, the chances of it being filmed properly will increase. For once we might have something to thank shoplifters and car thieves for, as the security cameras were installed to help deal with them.
