12 ft Yellow Python found on West Bromwich Street
It was rescued in the early hours of this morning by police officers
Police Officers are not easily rattled when it comes to responding to unusual calls as they deal with a huge variety of incidents.
But just after 1.30am this morning (5 Sept) they received a call from a member of the public that a 12 foot yellow python was slithering on Harwood Street, West Bromwich.
While RSPCA colleagues would usually handle this situation they were not able to attend due to the time of the call so some brave response officers stepped in.
They managed to safely rescue the snake and get it into the van without too many slips and slides.
The snake was then transferred to a nearby veterinary hospital for overnight care.
