“A local SAPS station near Mandeni called for help at around 10pm on Wednesday night due to a crocodile behind the station. A team responded to the station to investigate and found a large, adult crocodile. As the situation is unique, the decision was made to call for help from a local, Ashton Musgrave, who has experience in safely catching crocodiles,” IPSS S&R, a non-profit organization that offers free search and rescue services, posted on Facebook.
