Two neighbourhood officers got more than they bargained for when they entered a house and found four snakes abandoned by their owner. Police Constable Richie Robinson and Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) Mark Ballinger went into an address on Doxford Walk in Hemlington after concerns that a cannabis farm was in the property. Instead, the team found two abandoned dogs and the snakes, which included a large 11ft boa constrictor found in a substandard vivarium under hoardings and rubbish. The officers had to make the vivarium as secure as possible, before loading it into the back of the police van and taking the animals to Jacqui Paterson’s Vets in Stockton.
