KUALA LUMPUR, March 9 -- A crocodile believed to be the same one spotted near Masjid Jamek and Mid Valley has reportedly been seen in Klang River near the Malayan Mansion building near Masjid India here.

The Star quoted Kuala Lumpur Civil Defence Force (APM) officer Mej Ahmad Junaid Dukut Soerharto Ahmad saying capturing the reptile could take time due to weather conditions and strong river currents.

"It has been raining quite heavily lately, so the river current is strong, posing a risk to our members during the search and capture.

"Although the rain had stopped, there was the risk of lightning strikes," he reportedly said.

Ahmad Junaidi said two teams were dispatched after receiving a public report at 10.19pm last night.
