Sonatine 11273 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 'Police in Australia 'arrested' a crocodile and locked it up in a cell after it was discovered loitering in a town. Locals called out the police after the 7ft saltwater crocodile turned up at Arrkuluk Camp in the Northern Territory. Officers said they found it loitering near a fence "trying to look innocent", reports the Northern Territory News. Sergeant Adam Russell said: "I wanted to jump on it Steve Irwin style but the rangers wouldn't let me." Instead, the crocodile was bound and bundled into the back of a pickup truck, and taken to the police cells. She was held in custody for three days until experts from a crocodile farm came to pick her up. Sgt Russell added: "We cut the ropes on her legs just so she could move around... we couldn't have her tied up for all that time. "We just hosed her down every couple of hours. She got a bit cranky when she was in the cells - started hissing when people came near" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
