Alligator Found in Old Bridge Pond

OLD BRIDGE-An alligator was found in and removed from a public pond in Old Bridge on Thursday.

Authorities said the Old Bridge Animal Control services was contacted by the Division of Fish and Wildlife to remove a two foot long alligator from a public pond on Brookside Avenue off Englishtown Road

“This is a first for us,” Animal Control said. “It was then transported to Fish and Wildlife so, no, he is not up for adoption. But we have decided we DO have some pretty brave and versatile Animal Control Officers.”
