Police were called over a crocodile in a Devon swamp - but it turned out to just be a plastic toy.
Officers were sent to the scene after being alerted to the ''little'' reptile by a Kingsbridge resident who was out walking their dogs, and dispatcher Lisa Burnett had confirmed on Twitter that they would look into it.
Devon and Cornwall Police later added: ''Police were notified at around 9am this morning to reports of what looked like a crocodile in a swamp in Loddiswell, Kingsbridge.
''Officers attended the scene and it later expired that this was a plastic crocodile.''
