Users of the Facebook page belonging to police in south Buckinghamshire are happy to see the funny side after officers post the results of their investigation into reports of the reptile's head poking above the surface of waters near Cholesbury.
Police called to reports of a crocodile seen in flood water near an English village have escaped unharmed after discovering locals were fooled by a replica. Officers from the South Buckinghamshire team at Thames Valley Police investigated after receiving reports of the reptile's head poking above the surface of waters near Cholesbury, a village near Tring, on the border with Hertfordshire, last week.
'Did you know that it is not that difficult to tell alligators and crocodiles apart? One will see you later whereas the other will see you in a while. #BadDadJokes.' As well as a picture of the head in the water near a police vehicle, the force uploaded images of the 'croc' on a table at a police station and one of its officers carrying it away. Dozens responded to the post, with comments showing they saw the funny side.
