Seven-year-old feared taken by croc in NT

A MISSING seven-year-old girl was last seen being pulled under water by a crocodile, witnesses have told police in the Northern Territory.

The girl was swimming with other children and an adult in a local waterhole at the Gumarrirnbang outstation, about 100km west of the remote community of Maningrida, when the crocodile attacked at 4pm (CDT) on Friday.

It first went for the man who was with the children before dragging the girl under the water, Senior Sergeant Shaun Gill said.

An extensive search is continuing but she has not been seen since.

"The crocodile is estimated to be about 2-3 metres in length and the billabong is described as being approximately 200 metres long by 20 metres wide," said Senior Sergeant Gill.

Members of the community are helping the Territory Response Section, Water Police Section and a ranger from the Crocodile Management Unit in searching for the young girl on Saturday.

Crocodiles are not thought to have been seen in the area previously and the community believed the billabong to be safe.
