A 5ft long monitor lizard sparked panic after it rampaged into a grocery shop and hid inside one of the cupboards.<br /><br />Checkout girl Namfon Ketsiri was working when she saw the wild animal crawling through the front panel of a store in Suphan Buri, central Thailand on August 14.<br /><br />At first, the worker and the neighbours living in the block helped to catch the reptile, but because it was too aggressive for them, they called the animal rescuers for assistance.<br /><br />Namfon said: "I was shocked when the monitor lizard entered our store. I tried to catch it myself but it was too big. It was too strong even for the neighbours.''<br /><br />The fierce lizard was found hiding in the small space in one of the cupboards. The animal catchers then dragged it out by the tail.<br /><br />The team took the lizard out of the grocery shop by carrying length-ways by its head and feet.<br /><br />The monitor lizard was put inside a sack before it was released back into the local canal.
