CROC CAUGHT OFF SAUNDERS BEACH
IT took 90 minutes for a massive croc to be caught in a trap off Saunders Beach.
A croc, measuring 3.8m, was caught on Thursday in a trap set near the beach, after it was seen near the pontoon at Purono Park on Althaus Creek.
Department of Environment and Science wildlife officers believe the crocodile had been hanging around because people had fed it discarded fish frames, fish scraps and leftover bait.
The croc will now be rehomed in a farm or zoo.
The penalty for deliberately feeding crocodiles is $5222.
