IT is feared that a young girl has been taken by a crocodile, after she went missing while swimming in a waterhole in the Northern Territory.
The girl, believed to be aged between seven and 11, was swimming with a group of people in a local waterhole on Friday afternoon about 95km west of the remote community of Maningrida when an adult of the group spotted a crocodile.
"Everyone made their way out of the billabong, but the girl went missing," Senior Sergeant Geoff Bahnert told AAP.
The community quickly launched a search for the girl, but when they were unable to find her, called police around 6.30pm (CST).
Sergeant Bahnert said neither the child nor the crocodile had been seen since.
"It is probable that the child has been taken by a crocodile," he said.
According to Sergeant Bahnert, the community has never seen crocodiles in the area before, which is why they had thought it was safe to go swimming.
Police and fisheries staff were searching with a spotlight overnight in the hopes of spotting either the girl or the crocodile, while wildlife rangers were expected to be on the site at first light to help with the search.
