The footage shows the group smash a door to an administration building and drop three crocodiles into an office before ransacking the place.
Senior Constable David Gregory told ABC News police were able to collect the crocs with the help of a ranger.
"The ranger that turned up was very concerned for them, they had their mouths taped shut," he said.
"They're in very poor shape they haven't seen water for a very long time, they're undernourished."
The crocs are now in the care of the ranger.
