Google maps JS API v3: get markers in circle with containsLocation() doesn't work - why?

I'm trying to get all markers within a given radius (google.maps.Circle) by using google.maps.geometry.poly.containsLocation as recommended here, but I get an error: TypeError: e is undefined.

Snippet:

// ...
if (google.maps.geometry.poly.containsLocation(randomMarkers[i].marker.getPosition(), searchArea)) {
    console.log('=> is in searchArea');
} else {
    console.log('=> is NOT in searchArea');
}
// ...

containsLocation is a method on google.maps.Polygon objects not google.maps.Circle objects

To determine if a marker is within a circle use google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween

if (google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(randomMarkers[i].marker.getPosition(), searchArea.getCenter()) <= searchArea.getRadius()) {
    console.log('=> is in searchArea');
} else {
    console.log('=> is NOT in searchArea');
}
