Crocodile jail
An Australian crocodile was locked up in a police cell after it threatened local fishermen.
Police officers in Nhulunbuy claim they had "no other option" than to isolate it overnight after they captured the animal late in the evening.
The crocodile was put in an unused cell and taken to a nearby crocodile farm the following morning.
Senior Constable Wade Marshall said police had reacted after receiving reports that the crocodile "had a go at some fishermen retrieving their boat at the local boat ramp".
When officials arrived at the scene the crocodile was about 30m from the ramp. They waited until nightfall, when the reptiles are apparently easier to spot, before capturing it.
