Tutong Town - A wandering mighty crocodile who had been on the prowl around several fishponds in Kampong Mungkom, Kiudang in the Tutong district was finally caught on Monday.
Fire Services personnel from the Lamunin Fire station answering a call from the fishpond owner Awg Sajohan Siok, rushed to nab the predator which got entangled in the nets that were installed in the tanks.
The owner revealed that the number of fish in his ponds have been decreasing for the past several days. Few days ago he found footprints which he first thought to be of a monitor lizard. But he was shocked to see a 10 foot long crocodile instead, caught in the nets.
The reptile was later relocated to a safer area by the Fire Services personnel while the Village Head cautioned residents against other crocodiles which maybe lurking in the vicinity. --
