"Units have assisted in locating and capturing the tiger in Edenvale. The animal has been sedated and taken to a sanctuary for safekeeping. No further information will be given at this time."
About two weeks ago the search for Sheba, an 8-year-old female tiger, came to an end after she was found in Walkerville and euthanised.
