It likewise fitted with one more locating related to ‘crocodile’ at a close ordinarily standby in May last year.
Yet, the great individuals of Castleford can breathe a sigh of relief indeed – the secret has been resolved.
Nigel told the media, ‘It’s just a plastic toy crocodile.”
“I left it in the grass to scare off my neighbor’s cat from my garden, but I ended up scaring her.”
According to a bricklayer, he purchased the croc in Florida for his child back in 2000, and the loved toy has been passed down to his one-year-old grandson Ronnie.

Added, ‘I’ll be honest, I don’t think I’ve even spoken to (Sarah) yet.
“She never came round and said, “Oh, there’s a crocodile in your back garden.”
“But she was working through the night, so when she came home the crocodile would have been sitting in the grass.”
“When I came home from work I picked it up and put it back in the shed.”
“She probably thought it must have been real when it disappeared.”
