BOCA RATON, Fla. - A seven-foot alligator was caught Sunday morning walking through a Boca Raton neighborhood.

The alligator was spotted by neighbors in the Country Park subdivision off Country Park Drive.

First, one neighbor said she saw the alligator walking through a yard and then saw it at a neighbors front door.

Three sheriffs deputies set up a perimeter around the alligator before a person from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) captured the animal.

FWC says the alligator will be processed because it is more than five-feet long.
