Police are searching for four men who let three crocodiles loose in an Australian school during a break-in.
The young men were captured on CCTV smashing through a glass door at Taminmin College in Humpty Doo, 20 miles south of Darwin, early on Sunday morning.
The suspects, whose heads were covered with scarves, then dumped the reptiles one by one in the main office.
In the footage, the men were seen ransacking the room, including throwing a computer screen on the floor and about 30 seconds later ran off.
Parks and wildlife rangers were called to the scene to safely remove the female saltwater crocodiles.
The crocodiles were in a poor condition and had their mouths taped up.
Ranger Luke McLaren told ABC local radio the reptiles, which measured up to 2m (6.5ft) long, may have to be destroyed.
Saltwater crocodiles are a protected species and interfering with them is a criminal offence, punishable by fines of up to $77,000 (ยฃ45,000) or a jail term of up to five years.
