1. How the hell did it get all the way from northern Australia?
2. This is not far where I live so now I fear finding random baby crocodiles.
Anyone missing a crocodile?
This is the question Victoria police are busy asking on Boxing Day morning - and they are serious.
It all started when two residents from leafy Heidelberg Heights, in the city's north-east, took a Christmas Day stroll and suffered quite the shock when they discovered a crocodile in the front yard of a local business.
Police called to the scene thought the residents may have been exaggerating, and were expecting to find a large lizard. But upon arriving at the Waiora Road address shortly after 8.30pm they found a one-metre long reptile sitting quietly on the footpath.
A reptile catcher was called in to capture the saltwater crocodile.
The crocodile will remain in the care of the reptile catcher until the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning can collect it. It's not known where the croc came from or how it came to be in the front yard of the closed business.
Anyone missing a crocodile or with information on the owner of the crocodile is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
