Crocodile stolen from aquarium

A thief walked unnoticed out of a Norwegian aquarium carrying a crocodile during the weekend and now risks losing a finger or two, the head of the aquarium said on Monday.

"I think whoever did this knew what they were doing," Bergen aquarium director Kees Oscar Ekeli said, suggesting the young crocodile was smuggled out in a bag during the busiest hours on Saturday.
