Search continues for boy taken by croc NORTHERN Territory police have killed two crocodiles during their ongoing search for a 12-year-old boy taken by a crocodile in billabong. The boy was swimming with friends at a billabong near Jabiru at Kakadu National Park on Sunday when he was attacked by a saltwater crocodile. Sergeant Stephen Constable said police located two large crocodiles in the early hours of Monday morning. "One (was) 4.3 metres; one (was) 4.7 metres," Sgt Constable told the ABC. Both of those were shot and removed from the area. We've since had a look at both crocodiles and neither of them had anything in their stomachs, and we're going to continue the search today. Local police and National Parks rangers continue to scour the area. Sergeant Constable earlier said there hadn't been a "croc attack around here for quite a long time."
