The remains of what is believed to be the body of a 12-year-old child reportedly attacked by a crocodile have been found, according to Australian police.<\/p>\n

The child was reported missing on Tuesday evening after swimming in a creek near Palumpa, a remote town of around 350 people seven hours by road from Darwin, the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory.<\/p>\n

The unnamed child went missing at about 5.30pm local time on Tuesday, shortly after she was swimming in Mango Creek, NT News said.<\/p>\n

“This is devastating news for the family, the community and everyone involved in the search,” Northern Territory police Senior Sergeant Erica Gibson said in a statement.<\/p>\n

There are more than 100,000 crocodiles in the Northern Territory, which has a land area more than six times the size of
Britain, though fatal attacks are relatively rare. They can grow up to six metres (20 ft) long.<\/p>\n

The child and family had visited the creek for holidays, and it was reported that a black crocodile was seen in the immediate area, police told ABC Radio.<\/p>\n
