Police seek stolen venomous snakes
Niagara Police are searching for venomous snakes they say were stolen from a home in Thorold.
The snakes include several juvenile cobras, rattlesnakes, adders and vipers — including a pregnant albino boa.
The reptiles were part of a breeders business. Police say they suspect the home was targeted intentionally.
Police say the snakes range in size from 12 to 200 centimetres long, with the largest weighing seven kilograms — and are warning the public the cobra’s venom is a dangerous neurotoxin that can cause respiratory failure.
Anyone with information on the snakes whereabouts is asked to contact police.
