RCMP looking for guns, corn snake, after slithery Alberta break-in
RED DEER, Alta. – Guns may have been the target but a thief or thieves couldn’t resist the allure of a nearly two-metre pet snake during a break-in at a central Alberta home last month.
RCMP say they’re looking for more than a dozen guns and a corn snake after the Jan. 29 incident at a house in Red Deer.
Mounties say about 14 firearms, an iPad and the non-venomous reptile wriggled out the door about three to four hours before the owners got home.
The guns include a number of pistols, an AR15 tactical-style rifle, some small-calibre rifles and two shotguns.
Investigators say the firearms are owned by hobbyists and are all licensed and properly stored.
They can’t confirm if the break-in was targeted because other property, such as the snake, was also taken.
