Has Anybody Seen My Crocodile??

Sydney (dpa) - Thirty crocodiles were recently stolen in Australia. The reptiles disappeared from a crocodile farm in Darwin in the country's north, according to the police. "They're probably going to be sold as pets," said the farm's manager.

Crocodiles can be marketed for approximately € 570 per piece. A secret transport of young crocs (usually not longer than 1 m) is a piece of cake. "They fit into any large sports bag," the manager said. "But it would be a good idea to wrap up their jaws with sticky tape."

Diebe haben in Australien 30 Krokodile geklaut. Die Reptilien verschwanden aus einer Krokodil-Farm in Darwin im Norden des Landes, berichtete die Polizei. Sie würden wahrscheinlich als Haustiere verkauft, meinte der Manager der Farm.


Ein Tier bringe umgerechnet € 570 das Stück. Die ein Meter langen Jungtiere ungesehen fortzuschaffen sei einfach. "Sie passen in jede größere Sporttasche," meinte der Manager. "Wäre angebracht, die Schnauze mit Klebeband zuzukleben."
