A
four-meter python was captured alive at a Padang restaurant in North Meruya in Kembangan, West Jakarta, on Monday morning.
Five officers from the municipality’s Fire and Rescue Agency were deployed to the scene to rescue the snake.
“We were phoned by residents who told us that the snake was spotted under a storefront. The plates and bowls were messed up,” West Jakarta Fire and Rescue Agency fire subdivision head Rompis said as quoted by kompas.com.
Rompis said the situation was resolved at 5:50 a.m., twenty minutes after his office received the report. “It took a relatively short amount of time to handle [the situation] because the snake's whereabouts were already known. It would have been different if we had to search for the snake first,” he said. (fac)
