Police in California found a 4-foot-long crocodile during a drug bust at a property outside Los Angeles.
Officers encountered the reptile while raiding the home of Donny Askar in Oxnard, halfway between Malibu and Santa Barbara.
The crocodile was submerged in a poorly secured tank with rancid water and police said it could have easily escaped into a nearby waterway, ABC 7 reported.
The property is close to the Channel Islands Harbor, a marina that runs alongside a naval base and extends more than a mile inland.
