The search for two stolen alligators continues after one was believed to be spotted Wednesday in Wildcat Creek.
The gators were reported stolen from Manhattan pet store Reptile World this past weekend. A man reported spotting one while walking Linear Trail near 17th Street Wednesday after 1 p.m. It’s not known when or how the animal entered the water.
Animal control were unable to capture it and left a trap with plans to re-start the search Thursday morning.
Linear Trail from Pecan Circle to South Manhattan Avenue is closed as a result, the public is asked to avoid the area.
The gators are approximately 5 feet long and could pose a safety risk. If you see an alligator, call 911 immediately. Officials warn not to attempt to catch it on your own and do not harm it.
