Brave officers of West Midlands, England, caught a slippery suspect wandering on the road. They were able to catch a 12-foot massive python and safely transfer it to a veterinary hospital for overnight care.
West Midlands Police took to Instagram to share about the incident. The department wrote, "Our officers are not easily rattled when it comes to responding to unusual calls as we deal with a huge variety of incidents. Just after 1.30 am yesterday morning (5 Sept) we received a call from a member of the public that a 12 foot yellow python was slithering on Harwood Street #WestBromwich."

They further added, "While RSPCA colleagues would usually handle this situation they were not able to attend due to the time of the call so some of our brave response officers stepped in. We managed to safely rescue the snake and get it into our van without too many slips and slides."
