The Blue Ash Police Department experienced a first Wednesday when they captured a caiman in the parking lot of a business.

Officers responded to the unlikely situation Wednesday after someone called and said they saw the animal wandering around Kenwood Road.

Though odd, Sgt. Allison Schile said the incident was “not too eventful,” and officers were able to capture the crocodilian in a snare pole. The caiman was turned over to the SPCA, Schile said.

Police do not know where the animal came from at this time.
