A man has reportedly been snatched by a crocodile in the Crocodile Rock area of Pottuvil police division.

A complaint was lodged at the Pottuvil Police Station last evening (28), reporting that a crocodile had snatched an individual herding buffaloes across the Duuwa River near the Crocodile Rock area.

A 41-year-old resident of the Pasarachchena area was involved in the incident.

The police and the Panama Navy Camp officials are conducting joint operations to find the missing person.
