LYNN — Along with the expected guns and drugs, police
\n discovered a crocodile and two baby alligators when they searched a Murray
\n Street apartment yesterday, something that police said they hardly prepared
\n for in the pre-raid briefing.<\/p>\n

First the officers had to subdue three agitated pit bulls; but they were
\n not prepared for the reptiles, including a snapping turtle. They called
\n state Environmental Police to round up the reptiles.<\/p>\n

”We’ve had snakes, spiders, but these are probably our first alligators," said
\n longtime Lynn Animal Control officer Kevin Farnsworth.<\/p>\n

Along with drug and firearms charges, authorities charged Ramiro Jorge,
\n 20, with illegal possession of a crocodile and alligators. The crocodile
\n was 3 feet long, and both alligators were 12 inches long.<\/p>\n
