Arizona authorities have launched a hunt for an alligator that’s been spotted in a man-made lake.

Glendale police officials say they received multiple reports from people who saw someone dump a live gator in Arrowhead Lake, which is used for boating an fishing in a Glendale neighborhood. So far, no one has reported any encounters with the dangerous animal, police say.

Although investigators have yet to confirm there’s an alligator in the lake, a rep for the Glendale P.D. says a search is underway and animal control officials have been notified.
