Police make appeal as snakes roam streets of Belfast
Police in Belfast have appealed to the public to be on the lookout for a number of exotic reptiles that are missing, presumed stolen from a shop in the city centre.
The missing reptiles, which disappeared between November 2nd and 3rd, are a Cook's Tree Boa constrictor, a Royal Python, a Californian King Snake, a Sunbeam Snake, and a Herman's Tortoise.
The snakes, which are described as being between three to five feet long, are thought to be worth a few hundred pounds each. Although not venomous they can bite and should only be approached by an experienced handler. They could also pose a risk to small household pets like mice and rabbits.
If any member of the public is offered one for sale, or knows anything about the break-in which happened at Hope Street, Belfast, contact 028 90650 222 and ask to be put through to the Burglary Squad at Musgrave Street.
