It is reported that a large crocodile that has been roaming in the sea area between Uswetakeiyawa and Negombo for several days has been caught by the residents of the area with great effort.
Locals complained that the crocodile had severely affected their fishing activities.
The residents of the area say that although steps have been taken to inform the wildlife officials about this, there has been no result.
When the crocodile reached the Pamunugama beach yesterday (31) afternoon, the residents of the area had taken action to catch the crocodile.
It is reported that a female crocodile about 10 feet long has been caught.
Although the wildlife officials were informed to take the crocodile away after capturing it at around 8.30 last night (31), the wildlife officials had come to pick up the crocodile this morning (01), the residents of the area allege.
