The animals were spotted near Queen Anne Road and Merrison Street.
"We are monitoring the situation," police said.
Coyotes tend to be carnivorous yet opportunistic animals, according to wildlifehelp.org.
"Their diet tends to reflect the most abundant prey species in their area and commonly includes small rodents, rabbits, carrion, deer, waterfowl, livestock, poultry and free-ranging pets," the site says.
"Coyotes living in populated areas get used to people, and are drawn to yards by pets, pet food, garbage and potential denning sites. This proximity causes occasional attacks on humans - including predatory attacks on small children."
Any pets attacked should be taken straight to the vet, and people to the hospital.
