A member of the public was driving down Jimmy Smith Street near Sandbaai Hall on Monday 24 November when she noticed something strange in the road.

At first she thought it was a plastic toy, but upon closer inspection she realised that it was a metre-long juvenile crocodile heading for the greenbelt. When she stopped her car and got out to take a photo, the crocodile panicked and went to a house on the opposite side of the road.
